New episodes of Baylen Out Loud premiere on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TLC and will be available to stream on Max the next day. There are three more episodes left, with the finale airing on March 10. Baylen Out Loud is produced by Michael Levitt Productions for TLC.
Baylen Dupree is a vibrant and resilient 22-year-old with Tourette Syndrome. Every day, Baylen faces a variety of extreme and uncontrollable vocal and motor tics while navigating the challenges of becoming an independent adult.
Supported by her loving family in West Virginia, including her five siblings, devoted boyfriend, Colin, protective father, Allen, and strong and independent mother, Julie, Baylen learns to manage the complexities of Tourette and embrace life fully.
Baylen’s tics began as involuntary movements and noises and intensified in her teenage years. Officially diagnosed with Tourette at the age of 18, Baylen has learned to laugh at herself through it all. With humor, heart, and unstoppable determination, Baylen started sharing her candid and light-hearted experiences on social media.
Baylen Out Loud premieres on Monday, January 13, at 9/8c on TLC. Each episode will inspire audiences as they watch Baylen push herself outside her comfort zone in pursuit of the independent life she’s always dreamed of, particularly as she strives to build a future with her boyfriend, Colin.
After years of feeling self-conscious about her condition, Baylen is finally ready to live freely, embracing her authentic self and showing the world that Tourette doesn’t define her. With the support of her family and friends, Baylen is ready to stretch her wings.
