Tyler Perry’s ‘Madea’s Destination Wedding’ First Look Revealed
Tyler Perry has five film and TV projects coming to Netflix in 2025: “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.”
These projects tally up to the sixth film and second series from Perry’s creative partnership with Netflix, inked in 2023, which sees him write, direct and produce films, series and faith-based features for the streamer.
“Madea’s Destination Wedding” is the second film from the Madea franchise to be released on Netflix. “A Madea Homecoming” debuted at No. 1 on the global top 10 English-language films list in 2022, and spent four weeks on the list.
This time, Madea (played by Perry) and her crew — Cassi Davis Patton’s Aunt Bam, Tamela J. Mann’s Cora, David Mann’s Mr. Brown and Joe (also played by Perry) — head to the Bahamas for the titular “destination wedding,” which is of the shotgun variety. The plot kicks off when Brian (Madea’s nephew and Joe’s son, also played by Perry) and his ex-wife Debrah (Taja V. Simpson) learn that their daughter Tiffany (Diamond White) is engaged to a rapper she met on a yacht — and the wedding is in two weeks.
The film also features Jermaine Harris and Xavier Smalls and is produced by Perry, Angi Bones and Yolanda T. Cochran.

In Perry’s new series “She The People,” Terri J. Vaughn plays Antoinette Dunkerson, who runs a successful campaign for Lieutenant Governor and, according to the series logline, “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.”
Perry wrote, directed and produced the series, which also stars Jade Novah, Drew Olivia Tillman, Tré Boyd, Dyon Brooks and Jo Marie Payton. Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms executive produces alongside Niya Palmer and Vaughn. Angi Bones and Tony Strickland will also produce for Tyler Perry Studios.

“She The People” marks Perry’s second series for Netflix after “Beauty in Black,” which reached No. 1 on the global top 10 English-language TV list following its October debut. Part 2 of “Beauty in Black” will launch on March 6. The show, written, directed and produced by Perry, centers on two women: Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) is struggling to make a living after her mother kicked her out, while Mallory (Crystle Stewart) is running a successful business and they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.
The cast also includes Amber Reign Smith, Ricco Ross, Debbi Morgan, Richard Lawson, Steven G. Norfleet, Julian Horton, Terrell Carter, Shannon Wallace, Bryan Tanaka, Joy Rovaris, Xavier Smalls, Charles Malik Whitfield, Tamera “Tee” Kissen, Ursula O.

With “Straw,” Henson and Perry reunite for their fourth movie, following 2008’s “The Family That Preys,” 2009’s “I Can Do Bad All by Myself” and 2018’s “Acrimony.”
In the drama, written, directed and produced by Perry, Henson plays a single mother who 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,” the film’s logline explains. “Fueled by desperation, she finds herself at the center of suspicion in a world that seems indifferent to her existence.”
Rounding out the film’s cast are Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor, Glynn Turman, Sinbad and Rockmond Dunbar.
Tyler Lepley and Serayah McNeill in “R&B.”

“R&B” is the first film under Perry and DeVon Franklin’s multi-year, multi-picture deal to produce faith-based films.
Directed by Alanna Brown (“Trees of Peace,” “Blindspotting”) and written by Mike Elliott (“Brown Sugar,” “Just Wright,” “Like Mike”) and Cory Tynan (“Play’d: A Hip Hop Story”), the project is a modern-day retelling of Ruth and Boaz, one of the most iconic love stories in the Bible. According to its official synopsis, the film is set in Tennessee and centers on 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.”
Serayah McNeill, Tyler Lepley and Phylicia Rashad lead the ensemble cast, which also features musicians like Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, Lecrae Moore and Yung Joc, as well as Walnette Santiago, Nijah Brenea, James Lee Thomas and Christopher Broughton. The film is executive produced by Bones, Strickland and Bart Lipton.
