Retaining Raven: It looks like
Raven is staying home. Disney
Channel's spinoff of supernatural
kids' show "That's So Raven" has
received a second season order
that Raven almost definitely saw
coming.
"Raven's Home" premiered
on Disney Channel this past July
and is a direct spinoff of "That's
So Raven," actually reuniting
several of the characters and ac-
tors from the teen-focused sit-
com that ran from 2003 to 2007.
Production on a second season
is scheduled to begin this
month.
The titular Raven is played by
former "The View" host Raven-Sy-
moné, reprising the role that she
first played in "That's So Raven."
Now all grown up, Raven is a
young woman with twins, Booker
(Issac Ryan Brown, "Black-ish")
and Nia (Navia Robinson, "Free
Rein"), who invites her childhood
best friend Chelsea (played by an-
other "That's So Raven" star re-
turning to her role, Anneliese van
der Pol) and her son Levi (Jason
Maybaum, "Becoming Bond,"
2017) to move in with her after
both women divorce their hus-
bands. Newcomer Sky Katz rounds
out the kiddos as Nia's BFF Tess,
who lives in the same building.
Two best-friend moms living un-
der the same roof with three pre-
teen kids? It's a recipe for both
laughs and warmth, but there's an-
other twist at play. What set
"That's So Raven" apart from its
peers was Raven's supernatural
ability: She sometimes received vi-
sions from the future, and most of
her adventures involved those pro-
phetic sightings.
Well, she hasn't stopped having
those visions in "Raven's Home,"
and it seems she's passed on her
gift to one of her children. Booker
has inherited her ability to see fu-
ture events, setting off many situa-
tions that result in trouble — but
also plenty of laughs for people
watching at home.
"That's So Raven" was a big hit
for Disney Channel, and "Raven's
Home" has brought its beloved
characters back for a new genera-
tion. The second season begins
production this month.
Windy city strength: NBC's
"Chicago" franchise may have suf-
fered its first real stumble, but it
sure isn't having any problems at-
tracting guest stars. "Chicago Jus-
tice," the fourth series in the fran-
chise that includes "Chicago Fire,"
"Chicago P.D." and "Chicago
Med," was canceled earlier this
year after just a single season, but
