Growing Up Dion: Family’s First Drama

A new drama series titled “Growing Up Dion” is set to chronicle the early life of iconic Quebec singer Celine Dion, produced by her brother Jacques and based on her nephew Jimmy Dion’s book. Showrunner Zoë Green (Sirens, Carnival Row) leads the project, developed by LA-based Diamant Rouge Entertainment and currently pitching globally. The series dives into Dion’s modest upbringing — sleeping in a drawer as a baby, wearing hand-me-downs — while highlighting how music shaped her childhood, including her first performance at age five and co-writing her first song by twelve. The family is deeply invested, calling the project authentic and meaningful. Casting for Dion remains TBD, though she’s been portrayed before. Despite health challenges like Stiff Person Syndrome, Dion’s musical comeback continues with a Paris Olympics performance and a major 2026 residency. No network or release date yet, but international interest suggests this is poised for big things. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
