The talented Raven-Symoné fortifies her longstanding relationship with Disney through a fresh multi-year overall agreement!
With more than two decades under her belt at Disney, the 38-year-old actress and singer has recently inked a deal with Disney Branded Television, as reported by Deadline.
Raven-Symoné shared her enthusiasm about the next steps with the Disney Channel, where she’s been a creative force since she was 15. “After years of telling stories filled with heart, laughter, and togetherness, I’m excited to embark on the next chapter of this creative journey alongside my Disney family,” she expressed.
Her role in the new deal includes executive producing and directing a promising spinoff following her current hit series Raven’s Home.
The upcoming show, titled Alice in the Palace, will focus on young Alice (Mykal-Michelle Harris), a relative of Raven’s, as she reunites with her doppelgänger, Duchess Clementine (played by Harris as well), exploring new facets of life together. This storyline continues from the introduction of the royal characters in the sixth season premiere of Raven’s Home set in London.
The spinoff’s script is being penned and produced by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, who were also part of Raven’s Home.
This new series marks the fourth installment in the “Raven-verse,” succeeding That’s So Raven, Corey in the House, and the current installment, Raven’s Home.
Raven’s partnership with Disney will now encompass a variety of roles, including producer, director, and creator for both linear viewing and streaming services, with a focus on multi-camera comedies.
Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television lauded Raven-Symoné for her ingenuity in front of and behind the camera. Davis commented on the significance of Raven’s Home to Disney Channel and its viewers, celebrating the continued collaboration with Raven starting with the introduction of Alice in the Palace.
Disney Channel and Disney+ followers should note, however, that Raven’s Home has reached its conclusion after a six-season run.
