Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, starring young rapper Dylan Gilmer, has a cast, according to Nickelodeon. In the kids and family live-action series, Carl Anthony Payne II, Mieko Hillman (Teen Wolf), Celina Smith, Hero Hunter (The Purge), and Aloma Wright (Scrubs) will join Gilmer.
Perry executive produced, directed, and wrote the film, which follows a family whose lives are flipped upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop sensation, unexpectedly moves in. Michelle Sneed also acts as an Executive Producer for the series, which is shot at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Mark E. Swinton and Will Areu serve as Producers.
When Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Wright) discovers that raising her grandson is too much for her, she sends him to live with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Payne), his wife Yasmine (Hillman), and their two children Rebecca (Smith) and Charlie (Hillman) indefinitely (Hunter).
Young Dylan, a burgeoning hip hop artist, and his straight-laced cousins quarrel, and the Wilson family household is quickly flipped upside down. The series follows the Wilson family’s amusing antics as they try to get on the same beat, from Dylan teaching Rebecca and Charlie “swag” and street smarts to learning that even “rappers” have rules in the Wilson house.
When Gilmer was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last October, Perry made a surprise appearance and announced that the young rapper will be starring in his own series.
Perry’s deal with Nickelodeon is part of a long-term deal with Viacom in which he will produce original shows for BET Networks (The Oval and Sistas) and other Viacom networks, with exclusive licencing rights. Perry also recently announced his partnership with BET Networks for BET+, a new streaming video on demand service.
Gilmer is best known for his appearances and performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and at NBA All-Star Weekend. He was born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland. Telepictures, a Warner Bros. Television subsidiary, has an overall talent deal with him. Gilmer had a special appearance on the Nickelodeon relaunch of the iconic series All That in 2019.
Sherry Kayne of The Green Room and Chris Abramson of Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson represent Gilmer.
Hillman is represented by Mavrick Artists Agency and manager Bob McGowan. He recently concluded the film Psycho Nurses.
