[hide]Plot
Best friends Raven and Chelsea, both divorced single mothers, are now raising their children in an apartment together in Chicago. Their house is turned upside down when they realize one of Raven's children, Booker, has inherited the same psychic abilities as his mother.Characters
- Raven Baxter[1] (Raven-Symoné) is the single mother of twins Nia and Booker, who works as a fashion designer for dogs. It is revealed that prior to the series, Raven has gotten divorced from Devon Carter (Jonathan McDaniel), an ex-boyfriend from high school, and now lives with Chelsea and her son in Chicago. Raven possesses psychic powers, able to glimpse "visions" of the future. She decides not to tell her children about her visions as she believes they would not understand.
- Booker Baxter-Carter[3] (Issac Ryan Brown) is the 11-year-old son of Raven and twin brother of Nia, who has inherited his mother's psychic abilities.[1][4] After he gets his first vision at school, he decides not to tell his mother about his psychic abilities as he thinks she would not believe him, unaware that his mother is also psychic.
- Nia Baxter-Carter[3] (Navia Robinson) is the 11-year-old daughter of Raven and twin sister of Booker.[1][4] She initially does not believe her brother's psychic abilities, insisting it's one of his made up stories. When her brother has a vision of Nia getting hit by a boxing bag and later becomes true, she finally believes him.
- Levi Grayson[3] (Jason Maybaum) is the 9-year-old son of Chelsea.[4] He is very mature for his age and often acts as the parent in his relationship with his mother.
- Tess (Sky Katz) is the street-wise best friend of Nia, who lives in the same building as the rest of the family.
- Chelsea Grayson[3] (Anneliese van der Pol) is Raven's somewhat dim-witted, but sweet best friend and the mother of Levi. It is revealed that prior to the series, Chelsea made a substantial sum of money from an infomercial product she invented called the "Schmop," but her fortune was stolen by her husband Garrett Grayson. Afterwards, Garrett was arrested for tax evasion and ended up having an affair with the federal agent that arrested him. Chelsea subsequently divorced him upon reclaiming some of her money and moved in with Raven. While living with Raven, Chelsea often tries to cook for the family, which goes horribly awry with the food either not tasting well or getting burnt.

T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh and Rondell Sheridan were not present, but got a special mention from Raven-Symoné herself.[5]The series was announced on October 27, 2016, where Raven-Symoné also announced that she was departing as co-host of The View later in 2016 in order to work on the series full time,[6] and was officially greenlit to series with the title of Raven's Home on April 4, 2017.[7] On November 14, 2016, it was announced that Anneliese van der Pol will reprise her role of Chelsea Daniels in the series as a divorced mother who is raising a son, Levi, and moves in with Raven.[2] Executive producers Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as showrunners and head writers, with Raven-Symoné also on the writing team as an executive producer.[8] The series premiered on Disney Channel on July 21, 2017, and is filmed at Hollywood Center Studios. Disney Channel renewed the series for a second season on October 10, 2017, which will begin filming in November 2017.[9]
