VIDEO : Tyler Perry Bringing First Scripted Series to TLC

TLC Greenlights Tyler Perry Drama as First Scripted Series. This summer, the Discovery-owned outlet will launch its first scripted series, an eight- part drama created by Perry. The Network is hoping Tyler Perry can do for it what his other series have done for corporate cousin OWN. The mogul will write, direct and executive produce 'Too Close to Home,' about a young woman who is forced to return to her trailer-park beginnings after her political career is derailed by a sex scandal.
