Netflix has canceled its original family superhero series Raising Dion after 2 seasons on the streaming platform. Raising Dion, based on a 2015 comic series, follows a widowed mother raising her young son who begins to manifest superhuman abilities. The combined family-drama and superhero adventure series debuted in 2020, proving popular among Netflix users and returned for a second season earlier this year.

Now, following the recent conclusion of its second outing, Raising Dion has officially been canceled by Netflix. The news comes as an unexpected and disappointing outcome to all involved and has been confirmed via Instagram by young cast member Sammi Haney who plays Esperanza on the show. Haney thanks the fans online and maintains that “Season 2 was a success.” Check out the original post below:

Raising Dion’s season 2 finale left the show open for a planned third outing, with the plot seemingly setting up a thrilling new story involving elements of time travel. Unfortunately, the show joins a long list of Netflix original programs cut short after a couple of seasons. Netflix has been criticized in the past for canceling its most promising projects (Sense8, Glow) before their time. Recently, Netflix reported losses for the first time in its decade-long domination of the streaming wars. Thus, the platform announced it would be cutting certain aspects of its brand, including its animation studio. Raising Dion sadly becomes the next casualty of Netflix’s toughest spell on record.
