China McClain Fans Think She's Shooting 'House of Payne' Revival after Clip of the Actress with Her
China Anne McClain is drumming up more excitement about the revival of Tyler Perry's "House of Payne." The former child star shared a new video featuring her dad, and fans went wild in the comment section.
"House of Payne" was a TBS fan-favorite for six years, so it's not surprising that a lot of people want to see it return to their TV screens. China's recent social media video appears to prove that fans are in for an exciting time.

The 21-year-old singer/actress took to Instagram hours ago with a clip of her and her father, Michael McClain, strolling down a walkway. "So, I'm on set right now," she announced. "Can y'all guess what I'm doing?"
Curtis Payne is the family patriarch who is blunt with his opinions. He loves his wife and family but would prefer not to deal with them.
"Don't tell them where you are," Michael joked as China giggled. While several fans came up with guesses on what the actress was working on, one response from a fan page caught the most attention.
"HOUSE OF PAYNE!!!!!!!!!" Instagram user @chinamcclainnews commented in all caps. A second fan echoed: "OMG! House of Payne is backkk. I just know it."
China did not dispute the "House of Payne" suggestions, most likely because they were right. The same day she posted her video, Variety reported that Perry and BET had commissioned a new season of the beloved series.
