Nickelodeon’s president, Brian Robbins, also celebrates the new venture. “It’s a thrill to bring this new series to Nickelodeon from the incredibly talented and prolific Tyler Perry, whose track record speaks for itself,” Robbins says. “Dylan is an incredibly talented 10-year-old who at heart is a relatable kid making his dreams happen. We know kids are going to love watching Dylan and we can’t wait to introduce him and his new show to our audience.”
Young Dylan and Tyler Perry’s show is slated to be about a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, portrayed by Dylan, moves in unannounced.
