‘That’s So Raven’ Spinoff ‘Raven’s Home’ Gets Official Release Date On Disney Channel
“That’s So Raven” spinoff, “Raven’s Home,” will premiere on Disney Channel on July 21 at 10 p.m. EST.
According to Deadline, the follow-up to “That’s So Raven” will be released after the world premiere of “Descendants 2.” Prior to this, Disney Channel will air all four seasons of “That’s So Raven” starting June 1, so that fans and new audiences will get the chance to catch up on the episodes focusing on the life of Raven Baxter (Raven Symone). A series of games and quizzes based on the show will also be available on the Disney Channel app and On Demand starting June 8.

Disney Channel also released the official logo for “Raven’s Home.” One insider from the network explained that the title is pronounced possessively, and it focuses on Raven’s house or home. The title for the reboot doesn’t suggest that Raven is home.
Meanwhile, “Raven’s Home” will also feature the return of Raven’s best friend, Chelsea (Anneliese van der Pol). Ten years after “That’s So Raven” wrapped up, Raven and Chelsea are now single mothers living and raising their children under one roof.
Disney Channel also released the official description for the reboot which reads, “Raven still catches glimpse of the future but she’s not the only one in the family who does – Booker (Isaac Ryan Brown) has the same ability. While Booker uses his newly found power to try and make sense of middle school and his new family life, Raven uses her power to help her be a better mom, a great fashion designer and awesome friend. Hilarity ensues as Raven and Booker’s vision collide, but no matter the situation, they figure everything out together as one big happy family.”
News about the reboot first made headlines last year. In October, TV Line reported that Disney Channel commissioned a sequel series to the sitcom that aired from 2003 to 2007. In order to accommodate the filming schedule, Symone decided to leave “The View,” which is being filmed in New York. She was part of the talk show since 2014. The filming for “Raven’s Home” is being done in Los Angeles.
At the time, Disney Channel’s executive vice president for original programming, Adam Bonnett, released a statement expressing his excitement over the reboot. “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,” he said.
“Raven’s Home” also stars Navia Robinson, Jason Maybaum and Sky Katz.
Disney Channel’s decision to revive Symone’s hit sitcom came just months before they made a tough decision regarding the fate of another TV series. In January, the network decided to axe “Girl Meets World” after only three seasons. The series starred Rowan Blanchard, Sabrina Carpenter, Peyton Meyer, Corey Fogelmanis, Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel, August Maturo, Rider Strong, Tanner Buchanan and more.
