TLC dropped the trailer for Baylen Out Loud, which focuses on Dupree's family life and her journey to becoming independent.
"Having a sister with Tourette's is very crazy," Dupree's younger sister Sammi says in the trailer. "You don't know if you're gonna get smacked in the face or get a hug."
In the preview, Dupree's boyfriend Colin reveals that he's in the U.S. Air Force and has a relocation coming up, which could complicate their relationship. Dupree calls Colin her "medicine" and the "world's best boyfriend."
