Tyler Perry has announced the return of his Madea character after a very short retirement.
He made the announcement that the comic character will be returning for a Netflix film in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
โHey, guess whatโs happening?โ he said. โMadeaโs coming to Netflix.โ
โWe need to laugh, man, too much is going on in the country. We need to laugh, so, I was done, but sheโs coming back. Madea on Netflix. I canโt wait,โ he said.
The upcoming film, titled A Madea Homecoming, will be shot entirely in Atlanta at the Tyler Perry studios and will debut on the online streaming platform in 2022.
Madeaโs return to screens comes a few years after Perry shocked fans with news that the character will be retiring after a two-decade run. Madea first appeared in Perryโs 2005 hit movie โDiary of a Mad Black Woman.โ
The characters appeared last in 2019 โA Madea Family Funeralโ followed by 2020 โMadeaโs Farewell Tourโ.
