“When we created Raising Dion season 1, we knew we wanted it to be for everyone - adults, children, and adults who are still kids at heart," Executive Producers Michael B. Jordan and Liz Raposo of Outlier Society said in a statement. “The audience response was beyond our wildest expectations and along with our cast, crew, and partners at Netflix and MACRO, we cannot wait to bring you season 2.”

Showrunner & Executive Producer Carol Barbee added: “Dion and his friends are growing up and so is our show. In season 2, you’re going to get even more action, more mystery, more surprises, and yes, more powers. Nicole’s challenges escalate as she comes face to face with every parent’s worst nightmare. The stakes are higher than ever, and we’re so excited for fans to continue this journey with us.”

The first season of Raising Dion can be found streaming on Netflix if you want to catch up before the new episodes arrive. As it was 2019 when the first season was released, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do another binge just ahead of the new season and then keep that binge going with the new episodes. Meanwhile, season 2 is set to debut on Feb. 1, 2022.
