Tyler Perry's Young Dylan Cancelled At Nickelodeon After Five Seasons
The tour is over for Tyler Perry's Young Dylan: Nickelodeon has cancelled the family sitcom after five seasons, TVLine has learned.
"After five incredible seasons of Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, we are officially wrapping production," Nickelodeon said in a statement. "We're deeply proud of the entire cast and crew, as well as our amazing partners at Tyler Perry Studios, for the work they've created and the stories they've brought to life around this show."
Debuting in February 2020, Young Dylan followed "a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (played by Dylan Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced," per the official synopsis. Martin veteran Carl Anthony Payne II co-starred as Dylan's uncle Myles; the cast also included Mieko Hillman, Aloma Lesley Wright, Celina Smith, Hero Hunter and Jet Miller.
In Season 5, which debuted in December, Dylan and his cousin Rebecca "try to expand their fledgling hip-hop record label, while the whole Wilson family tries to deal with Dylan's mogul dreams." The two-part season finale "Dream Team" and "Funcle," which aired last Wednesday, will now serve as a series finale as well.
