Tyler Perry Bringing Madea Out Of Retirement For New Film

Tyler Perry is bringing his beloved character Madea out of retirement for a brand new movie event. Perry will dust off his wig for the 12th installment of his movie franchise, called A Madea Homecoming. The film will premiere on Netflix.

The new film continues the multi-hyphenate media mogul’s collaboration with the streaming giant after last year’s release of A Fall From Grace, which was seen by 39 million households in its first month.

Perry will direct and write with Will Areu and Mark Swinton producing. Perry will also EP along with Michelle Sneed.

Madea will be shot entirely at Tyler Perry Studios and released on Netflix in 2022.
