Dion Family to Produce 'Growing Up Dion' Television Series

Jacques Dion is producing a family‑authorized adaptation of his nephew’s book that Diamant Rouge is pitching to international buyers to shape Céline Dion’s origin story before her Paris residency.

Overview

  • News outlets report a scripted series provisionally titled Growing Up Dion is in development with Jacques Dion as producer and Zoë Green attached as showrunner.
  • The show is billed as a family‑authorized adaptation of Jimmy Dion’s book Dion, A Family Saga, with the Dion family involved to present a firsthand dramatization of Céline’s childhood.
  • Coverage says the series will focus on Dion’s 1980s upbringing in Québec, her relationship with her mother Thérèse, and the role of her large family of 14 children in shaping her career.
  • Diamant Rouge Entertainment is marketing the project to international buyers while casting, episode count, distribution plans, and production timing remain unannounced.
  • The announcement follows years of unauthorised portrayals and comes as Céline Dion manages stiff‑person syndrome and prepares a residency at Paris La Défense Arena, which raises public interest in an official family account.
