Congratulations to Tyler Perry on his most recent big-budget film agreement with Amazon Studios.
On 11/28, Amazon Studios revealed that it had reached a four-picture contract with renowned producer, actor, writer, and director Tyler Perry. According to the press release, as part of the agreement, Perry will write, direct, and produce four movies that will be shown on Prime Video in more than 240 nations and territories around the world.
“I’m excited and grateful to start working with Amazon Studios to bring movies to Prime Video,” said Tyler Perry. “Jennifer Salke and the entire team have welcomed me with open arms, and I’m looking forward to continuing to tell unique stories and bringing my next projects to the global audiences that they reach.”
“Tyler Perry is undeniably one of the most prolific creators of our time. “He is a true multihyphenate who has defined his own incredible brand of storytelling and inspired people all over the world with his series and films,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “We are excited to collaborate with Tyler and his teams to bring even more of his fantastic signature films to our global audiences.”
Perry received the Governor’s Award at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Academy Awards last year. A Jazzman’s Blues, which had its international premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival, is among his most recent creations. Later that month, Netflix premiered the historical drama he wrote, produced, and directed. A Madea Homecoming, the most recent installment in the Madea franchise, and the thriller A Fall from Grace were also recently directed, written, and executive produced by him. The 12th entry in the hugely successful franchise, in which Perry also starred, was A Madea Homecoming. The Oval, Assisted Living, Bruh, Sistas, Zatima, and Ruthless are just a few of the television programs that Perry has created, directed, and written for BET and BET+.
