Disney Channel Preps That’s So Raven Spin-Off

BURBANK: Disney Channel and Raven-Symoné are developing and starting preliminary casting for a new family sitcom that will continue the story from That’s So Raven, which aired on the network from 2003 to 2007.

The actress will executive produce the live-action show and reprise her role as Raven Baxter, a now-divorced mother of two pre-teens, one of whom inherited her ability to see the future. Seasoned writing/producing partners Scott Thomas and Jed Elinoff (Best Friends Whenever, R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour) are developing the currently untitled spin-off series.

Adam Bonnett, the executive VP of original programming at Disney Channels Worldwide, remarked: “Raven’s brilliant style of fearless comedy was a driving force for Disney Channel’s success around the world. Her performance in That’s So Raven is timeless. We now have our eyes on the future with her, and we’re looking forward to telling more stories for a new generation with an adult Raven Baxter raising her young family.”
