Disney Channel Orders Season 2 of ‘Raven’s Home’

Disney Channel said it ordered a second season of Raven’s Home, which is executive produced by star Raven-Symoné.

In the series, the one-time Cosby kid reprises her role as Raven Baxter from the comedy That’s So Raven.

When the series resumes production in Hollywood next month, Raven-Symoné will be joined as executive producers by Dava Savel and Michael Feldman.

"We are incredibly proud of our first season and the fact that Raven has returned home to Disney Channel in a very big way,” said Adam Bonnett, executive VP, original programming at Disney Channels Worldwide. “The entire cast and crew have delivered a classic family sitcom that kids and families will be watching for many years to come."
