Disney Channel is bringing back one of its classic series, "That's So Raven," with a brand new spin-off that will see the return of actress Raven-Symone as Raven Baxter. However, this time she'll be a single mother with two children named Nia and Booker.

According to a report from TV Line, Nia inherited her mother's psychic powers, and she is described as "bold, confident and driven." She is also has a tendency to go too far sometimes, but she always has the best intentions, deciding to help people and do what is right even if she could get in trouble.

She'll be a teenager who starts the show in middle school. However, it is during this time that she begins experiencing psychic visions, and she'll be using these powers to help other people.

Booker, on the other hand, is described as a sweet younger brother "who is in no rush to grow up." He is also described as a young "Donald Glover" type of child who is attached to his mother. When he does grasp the circumstances he is "surprisingly adept at turning the tables and standing for himself."

The report reveals that the two children have not yet been cast, and the studios are still looking for suitable actors who will portray Nia and Booker. Disney Channel has yet to reveal the likely candidates that are auditioning for the two roles.

No official release date has been announced for the spin-off show, and Disney has yet to even announce what the title is going to be. Fans will recall that "That's So Raven" had another spin-off before titled "Cory in the House," which focused on Raven's younger brother, and it also become quite successful.

Given that production has yet to begin, it is likely that the spin-off will not premiere until summer or fall 2017.
