The Dennis Liu comic book “Raising Dion” hit the scene about four years ago, and after its release Liu produced a short film that brought the comic to life. That short film caught the eye of actor Michael B. Jordan, who got behind the new Netflix series based on the comic. RAISING DION hits Netflix this Friday, October 4th, and features Jordan along with the lovely Alisha Wainwright and talented Jason Ritter. I had a chance to sit down with Wainwright and Ritter during their Dallas press stop, and we chatted a bit about their work on the series. This is a fun show the whole family can watch and enjoy, and there’s actually some cool twists you may not see coming – don’t let anyone spoil it for you! Our interview below is safe though, and we get a little insight about how they approached their work on the series. Check it out, and look for the series this weekend.
You can find more information about RAISING DION at the official Netflix webpage.
