The filmmaker is reprising the Madea character as well as working on additional new projects for Netflix.
Tyler Perry and Netflix have big plans for 2025. The streamer revealed details for new movies and television shows coming this year including Madea’s Destination Wedding, the new comedy series She The People, part 2 of the hit drama series Beauty in Black, Straw starring Taraji P. Henson, and the faith-based film R&B.
The new projects mark Tyler Perry’s sixth film and second series through his creative partnership with Netflix, which allows him to write, direct, and produce films, series, and faith-based features with DeVon Franklin.
Madea’s Destination Wedding is the second film from the Madea franchise to be released on Netflix. The film stars Tyler Perry, Cassi Davis Patton, David Mann, Tamela Mann, Taja V. Simpson, Diamond White, Jermaine Harris, and Xavier Smalls. It is described as follows:
“Brian and his ex-wife Debrah are shocked to learn their daughter Tiffany is engaged to a rapper she met on a yacht—and the wedding is in two weeks. Madea and her crew head to the Bahamas, stirring up chaos and heartwarming fun.”
She The People stars Terri J. Vaughn, Jade Novah, Drew Olivia Tillman, Tré Boyd, Dyon Brooks, and Jo Marie Payton. It is executive produced by Niya Palmer, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Terri J. Vaughn. The series is described as follows:
“Lieutenant Governor candidate Antoinette Dunkerson runs a successful campaign and now must figure out how to thrive under a sexist and condescending governor while attempting to keep her family in line now that they’re all in the public eye.”
Straw stars Taraji P. Henson, Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor, Glynn Turman, Sinbad, and Rockmond Dunbar. The movie is described as follows:
“A single mother faces a series of unfortunate events that lead her down an unexpected path. Struggling against circumstances beyond her control, she becomes entangled in a situation she never imagined. Fueled by desperation, she finds herself at the center of suspicion in a world that seems indifferent to her existence.”
The previously announced R&B is “a contemporary version of the story of Ruth and Boaz, one of the most iconic love stories in the Bible. Set in Tennessee, R&B tells the story of a young woman who escapes the Atlanta music scene to care for an elderly widowed woman and in the process finds the love of her life and gains the mother she never had.”
R&B stars Serayah, Tyler Lepley, Phylicia Rashad, Walnette Santiago, Nijah Brenea, James Lee Thomas, Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, and Lecrae Moore.
Additionally, part two of Beauty In Black is set to stream on Netflix on March 6, 2025.
