Netflix has axed yet another series as the streaming service has officially cancelled its superhero series Raising Dion after two seasons.
Taking to Instagram, series star Sammi Haney confirmed the cancellation, stating: “Sad to say that Raising Dion is CANCELED. Thank you for all of the amazing support we got from all of our wonderful fans! Season 2 was a success, equal to Season 1, even if just looking at how many people watched all of it and wanted a season 3.”
Raising Dion, which is based on a 2015 comic book and short film by Dennis Liu, followed the story of Nicole (Alisha Wainwright) and her son Dion (Ja’Siah Young) after Dion starts to manifest several mysterious, superhero-like abilities. Two years after defeating the Crooked Man (Jason Ritter), Season two followed Dion as he continues honing his powers with the support of his mom and Tevin (Rome Flynn), his Biona trainer who catches Nicole’s eye. After befriending new student Brayden (Griffin Robert Faulkner) – a fellow powered kid – a series of alarming events unfold, and Dion learns that danger is still looming.
Carol Barbee served as showrunner on the series and executive produced alongside Kenny Goodman, Liu, Darren Grant, Michael Green and Macro’s Charles D. King, Poppy Hanks, Marta Fernandez, and Michael B. Jordan – who also had a recurring role as Dion’s late father. Liu and Grant also directed several episodes each.
