Airdate: Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan

A kid rapper moves in with an American family on new Nickelodeon comedy.

US kid rapper Dylan Gilmer will star in his own comedy series, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan on Nickelodeon.

Executive produced, directed and written by actor / producer Tyler Perry, the series follows a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced.

Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realises 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 Rebecca and Charlie lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.

Star of the series, 11-year-old Dylan Gilmer, was handpicked by Perry himself after he saw the young rapper’s performance on Nickelodeon’s new series All That, which Gilmer’s friend and avid supporter, Ellen DeGeneres, helped him secure, following countless performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Perry surprised Gilmer with news about the exciting new role during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show alongside DeGeneres, his self-proclaimed ‘biggest fan’.

Monday, 31 August, at 5:30pm on Nickelodeon.

  1. After Tyler Perry has made 14 TV series Australia finally has one premiere. Too bad it’s his children’s program as it’s the one I won’t be trialing. With all the streaming platforms now available I would have hoped more would have made it to our shores.
