Announcing the news, cast member Sammi Haney wrote on Instagram, "Sad to say that Raising Dion is CANCELLED [sic] Thank you for all of the amazing support we got from all of our wonderful fans! Season 2 was a success, equal to Season 1, even if just looking at how many people watched all of it and wanted a Season 3!"

The actress also hinted at her readiness to take on other roles now that the show was over.

The show was executive produced by Barbee, Michael B. Jordan, Kenny Goodman, Liu, Michael Green, Darren Grant, MACRO's Charles D. King, Marta Fernandez and Poppy hanks.
