Netflix has announced a series of new projects with Tyler Perry, including a movie titled “Madea’s Destination Wedding” and a comedy series called “She the People”. The new projects will be released in 2025, joining a list of other upcoming projects, including “Beauty in Black”, “Straw”, and “R&B”.
“Madea’s Destination Wedding” follows the story of Brian and his ex-wife Debrah, whose daughter Tiffany is engaged to a rapper she met on a yacht, and Madea and her crew head to the Bahamas to cause chaos and heartwarming fun.
“She the People” is a government-based story about Lieutenant Governor candidate Antoinette Dunkerson, who runs a successful campaign and must figure out how to thrive under a sexist and condescending governor while keeping her family in line in the public eye.
The announcement is a good sign of Perry’s relationship with Netflix, which has already produced successful projects such as “The Six Triple Eight” and “Mea Culpa”. If the new projects do well, this could lead to a continued collaboration between the two.
The transition of the Madea movies to a streaming format is also evident, with the first “A Madea Homecoming” released directly on Netflix in 2022. This mirrors Netflix’s success with big-screen franchise sequels, such as “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”, which was also released on the platform.
Tyler Perry was born on September 14, 1969, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has been a prominent figure in the film and television industry for many years.
