Jason Ritter To Star In Netflix’s Superhero Family Drama Series Raising Dion
Pat is a comic-book-reading scientist who worked with Mark, his best friend. With Mark gone, Pat makes a big effort to be there for Nicole and Dion, and loves them like family. Not only is Pat smart, cute, and successful - he also has a special bond with Dion.
Raising Dion, a Netflix production, follows the story of a woman named Nicole Reese, who raises her son Dion after the death of her husband Mark (Michael B. Jordan). The normal dramas of raising a son as a single mom are amplified when Dion starts to manifest several magical, superhero-like abilities. Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat, and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities.
The series is based on commercial and music video director Dennis Liu’s short film about an African-American single mother who discovers her young son has multiple, constantly changing abilities. The project comes from Liu, Michael B. Jordan, veteran showrunner Carol Barbee, Kenny Goodman, writer-producer Michael Green, and Charles D. King’s MACRO.
The ten-episode series will premiere on Netflix in more than 190 countries around the world.
