“Raising Dion” is based on the comic book of the same name written by commercial and music video director Dennis Liu, who will direct the first episode.

Here is the logline of the series from Netflix:

“Raising Dion” follows the story of a woman named Nicole (Wainwright), who raises her son Dion (Young) after the death of her husband, Mark (Jordan). The normal dramas of raising a son as a single mom are amplified when Dion starts to manifest several mysterious, superhero-like abilities. Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat (Ritter), and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities.

“Raising Dion” premieres on Friday, Oct. 4 on Netflix.
