Tyler Perry Sets Five New Netflix Releases for 2025 Including New Madea and Return of ‘Beauty in Black’

Producer, director, actor and writer Tyler Perry is without a doubt one of the busiest people that has a partnership with Netflix, with an enormous amount of projects already released and available and many more in the pipeline. The year 2025 will be no exception. As part of the Next on Netflix 2025 reveals, the streamer revealed that he has five projects lined up for the streamer and no doubt plenty more in development. 

In addition to working with Netflix, Perry also works with Prime Video on multiple projects, one of which is Joy Ridge, a new film currently in production. In addition to producing projects like Sister Act 3. One project we also heard Perry was working on for Netflix was Joe’s College Road Trip, although that’s not been confirmed for a 2025 release.
