Are You Afraid of the Dark and All That Get More Episodes; Tyler Perry Gets Nick Sitcom
Nickelodeon has renewed some of its biggest franchises and hit series for the 2020-21 season. Among them include: Are You Afraid of the Dark (Season 2) - The beloved anthology series returns with more scary stories and a new Midnight Society group of kids who tell a chilling tale, only to witness the events of the terrifying story start to unfold around them. ACE Entertainment (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, The Perfect Date) returns to produce, with ACE founder Matt Kaplan and Spencer Berman serving as executive producers. And All That (Season 1, additional 10-episode pickup) - With a first season totaling 36 episodes, the reboot of the iconic '90s pop-culture sketch series showcases the comedic talents of eight kid comedians and features musical performances and guest appearances from today's biggest stars.
Kid rapper and pint-sized powerhouse Young Dylan will join the Nickelodeon family with the premiere of the brand-new live-action series, Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, on Saturday, Feb. 29, at 8:30 (ET/PT). Executive produced, directed and written by 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. Michelle Sneed is also an executive producer, with Will Areu and Mark E. Swinton serving as producers.The series is currently in production at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Ga.
In Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, Dylan's grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes 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 Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller), lessons in "swag" and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.
Nickelodeon's partnership with Perry is part of his long-term pact with ViacomCBS, producing original series for BET Networks (The Oval and Sistas) and other ViacomCBS networks, with exclusive licensing rights on this programming. Additionally, Perry recently announced his joint venture with BET Networks for the new streaming video on demand service BET+. Tyler Perry's Young Dylan marks Perry's first kids' scripted series.
