Raising Dion isn’t just another drama about raising a child as a single parent.  It’s much more complicated than that. It is the story of Nicole who raises her son after the death of her husband Mark. As Dion ages, Nicole starts noticing he’s different from the other kids and must do everything she can to keep his abilities a secret while figuring out where these powers came from.

The show’s team consists of

SHOWRUNNER: Carol Barbee

EPs: Michael B. Jordan, Kenny Goodman, Kim Roth, Dennis Liu, Michael Green, and Charles D. King

It is based on a comic book of the same name by Dennis Liu and the first season is slated for nine one hour episodes.

The characters are

JA’SIAH YOUNG – “Dion Warren”

The adorable 8-year-old son of Nicole and Mark, Dion is a precocious boy with an affinity for superheroes and science. This affinity becomes his challenging reality as he begins to develop mysterious abilities, making his life difficult as he enters a new school and deals with the trauma of losing his father when he needed him the most.

 

ALISHA WAINWRIGHT – “Nicole Warren”

A big dreamer who faces reality as a widowed mother of a special young boy, Nicole navigates the trials and tribulations of parenthood alone once her husband, Mark, passes. She struggles to balance everything once Dion begins to develop superhuman abilities, creating a hectic day-to-day in which she strives to protect his childhood and his safety.

 

JASON RITTER – “Pat Rollins”

Always doubted and misunderstood, Pat’s passion for science and comics sets an image of a seemingly awkward man, yet his warmth wins Dion over amidst the loss of his father. Pat was Mark’s best friend since their college days at Columbia, and after Mark’s passing makes a big effort to be there for Nicole and Dion, and loves them like family.

 

MICHAEL B. JORDAN – “Mark Warren”

Mark was an adventurous, intelligent man who made a point of making the most of life out of his lifelong passion for STEM. Such an ambitious nature eventually leads to Mark’s demise, one that Nicole begins to realize was under much more mysterious circumstances than she originally thought.

 

JAZMYN SIMON – “Kat Neese”

Kat is a surgical resident and Nicole’s sister. She’s the one that has her life together, and can’t help but correct Nicole on her life and parenting. All in all, she’s a wonderful and supportive aunt and sister, but has a hard time biting her tongue as she watches her sister make mistakes.

 

SAMMI HANEY – “Esperanza Jimenez”

A ride or die you always want in your corner, Esperanza is a bright classmate of Dion who has brittle bone disease. A brilliant artist wise beyond her years, she looks out for Dion in an endearing manner, and, though it takes a while, Dion grows to realize she is his best friend.
