Disney Channel and Raven-Symoné are developing and beginning preliminary casting for a family sitcom that will continue the story of her character from the iconic series That’s So Raven for a new generation of kids, tweens and families. Raven will both executive produce and reprise her role of the fan-favorite character Raven Baxter. Longtime writer/producer partners Scott Thomas and Jed Elinoff (Disney Channel’s Best Friends Whenever, Emmy nominees for R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour) are working on the development of the untitled spin-off series.

As the pilot story goes, Raven is now a divorced mother to two pre-teen kids (a son and daughter), one of whom has inherited her ability to catch glimpses of the future.

Adam Bonnett, executive vice president, Original Programming, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, “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.”

Disney Channel’s first original multi-camera production, That’s So Raven told the story of Raven Baxter, a teen whose ability to glimpse flashes of the future often got her into hot water. It was acclaimed for its stories that reflected the importance of parents to kids’ lives and for showcasing Raven’s own brand of physical comedy. That’s So Raven was an immediate hit with its January 2003 premiere posting the highest ratings ever in Households, Kids 6-11, Tweens and Boys 6-11 for a Disney Channel original series at the time. It went on to be a cable industry leader among Tweens for years.

In its most recent midnight telecasts on Disney Channel, the series still delivered on average 1.057 million Total Viewers.

Raven was the first African-American woman to have her name in a comedy series title. At age 19, she was named producer of the series. With That’s So Raven, she won four NAACP Image Awards and two Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, among others. The series was lauded by the NAACP Image Awards for four consecutive years and received a primetime Emmy Award nomination in the Outstanding Children’s Program category.

Production wrapped in January 2006 after 100 episodes, making it Disney Channel’s first live-action sitcom to reach that episodic high mark. It was seen on Disney Channels around the world, translated into French, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, German, Italian and Portuguese among other languages. Its global success created opportunities for other Disney businesses including consumer products and publishing.

Whats next, Miley Cirus reprising her role as Hannah Montanna?

"Hannah, after breaking ties with her adorable persona to embrace her wacked out oversexualized side, takes on a new challenge as the head of the local nunnery. "

Cory in the House was awful, just like the majority of the other shows that came after Lizzie McGuire.

The last really great show (not including cartoons) that came from Disney Channel was Even Stevens, which debuted in 2000.

Aahh, the years of Zoog Disney. The Famous Jett Jackson and So Weird were some of my favorite shows from that era. Dinosaur was fantastic. I remember staying up late to watch the Vault Disney segment. Zorro and the original Mickey Mouse Club were my favorites.

Regarding Shia Labeouf, something is definitely going on with him, but he's a very good actor in my opinion. His crying scenes are very believable.

Highly disagree gravity falls and girl meets world are both solid. But I have some faith in this project.

I wasn't including cartoons.

For me, Girl Meets World is a poor version of its predecessor. I love Boy Meets World, so my expectations for Girl Meets World were somewhat high (I say somewhat because Disney Channel was behind it and all of DC's current shows are terrible and corny). My expectations weren't met. Just not a fan at all.

I'm glad the show has a fan base. I don't want it to fail or anything.

The current shows just don't have that same quality as those from years and years ago. Same goes for Nickelodeon, I find their shows to be atrocious as well.
