Perry is planning a 12th installment of the film franchise, A Madea Homecoming, for a 2022 debut on the streaming service.
The character of Madea was first introduced onstage in the 1999 play I Can Do Bad All by Myself.
I’ve got some other things I want to do, and in this next 50, I’m going to do something different,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
Perry will write and direct A Madea Homecoming, and his shingle’s president of production and development, Michelle Sneed, will executive produce the movie along with Perry.
A Madea Homecoming also expands Netflix’s relationship with Perry, whose 2020 film A Fall From Grace was seen by 39 million households in its first month on the streaming service.
