Young Dylan is about to really take over Nickelodeon!
The 10-year-old rapper will be starring in his very own show on the network – Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan.
The new series marks Tyler Perry‘s first scripted kids show, and is currently being filmed at the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Ga.
In Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman) and their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter).
Suddenly, the Wilson family household needs to adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star Young Dylan and his straight-laced cousins.
From Dylan giving Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller), lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.
Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan premieres THIS Saturday (February 29) at 8:30pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon!
