The filming should start in the coming days because the show is scheduled for 2019 on the streaming platform Netflix.
Raising Dion will follow Nicole Reese, an African-American widow, mother of a son named Dion. As she struggles every day, with the help of her best friend Pat, to raise her son as best as she can, Dion starts to develop magical and superhuman abilities.
