Tyler Perry Signs New Series Deal with Netflix

The partnership expands with 'Beauty in Black,' marking a significant shift in Perry's television and film endeavors.

Netflix has announced a multi-year, first-look series deal with Tyler Perry, marking an expansion of their existing partnership.
The first series under the new deal, 'Beauty in Black,' is a 16-episode hour-long drama written, directed, and produced by Perry, focusing on two women from different walks of life.
Perry's relationship with Netflix began with a first-look film deal announced in October 2023, including upcoming films 'Six Triple Eight' and 'Mea Culpa.'
Perry has a history of successful TV series, including collaborations with BET and Paramount Global, but expressed disappointment with Paramount's handling of a potential BET sale.
The deal with Netflix replaces Perry's previous content partnership with Paramount Global, signaling a shift in his creative focus towards the streaming giant.
