Tyler Perry is officially developing a Nickelodeon series!
The 50-year-old writer-actor-director-producer announced that 10-year-old rapper Young Dylan, who has been regularly featured interviewing guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, will be getting his own show at the Viacom-owned network during a surprise appearance on the talk show, airing Wednesday (October 2).
“I’m excited to work with the team at Nickelodeon and find creative ways to reach new audiences,” Tyler said in a statement. “I love creating comedy television and can’t wait to work with the talented Young Dylan.”
The project, which Perry will write, tells the story of a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, an aspiring hip-hop star (Dylan), moves in unannounced.
Tyler Perry also chats about receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and jokes that Kerry Washington, who paid tribute to him at the ceremony, stole the spotlight.
