Fans of 'Raising Dion,' rejoice! Netflix is dropping a brand new season of the beloved child superhero drama next month. The streaming giant recently dropped the trailer of the second season of the show which revolves around a Black child who starts to manifest supernatural abilities, and it already looks like it's going to be a hoot!

Season 2 of 'Raising Dion' will follow Dion's journey as he hones his powers with the support of his mother Nicole, a single parent whose challenges get amplified once she discovers that her child has superhero-like abilities. Assisting Dion and Nicole (played by Alisha Wainwright) is Tevin, Dion's Biona trainer who also seems to have caught Nicole's eye. You could also take a look at 'Jupiter's Legacy,' 'The Umbrella Academy' and 'Black Lightning' if you're looking for other superhero shows on Netflix.
