The ensemble cast includes LeToya Luckett (“Greenleaf”), Khadeen Indréa (“Ellis Ever After”), Porscha Coleman (“Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!”), Briana Price (“Step Up: High Water”), Jennifer Sears (“Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Funeral”), RonReaco Lee (“Survivor’s Remorse”), DeVon Franklin (Kingdom Business), Donovan Christie Jr. “(Tyler Perry’s The Oval”) and Robert Christopher Riley (“Beyond the Gates,” “Dynasty”).

“Tyler Perry has been the most incredible partner to BET – delivering record breaking hits and top series year after year,” said Scott Mills, President and CEO of BET Media Group. “And now, we eagerly await the arrival of Tyler’s newest series – ‘Divorced Sistas’ – a brilliant expansion of the Sistas universe that for years has been the most watched series among Black viewers across television. We’re thrilled to launch this new series with Tyler and further expand the slate of compelling and authentic stories we deliver to our audiences.”

“‘Divorced Sistas’ is a story of resilience and the power of female friendship,” said Perry. “It is my hope that audiences will fall in love with these dynamic characters, and that they will be able to explore their own personal truths about healing and love in the process. I’m excited to launch this brand new show, and proud to do it on BET’s biggest night of the year and in their 45th year of programming!”

Very happy for both LeToya Luckett and Robert Christopher Riley.

[Beemooree]

The actor that plays Tyrell is in this too. It’s on his IG

[DemetriKane]

Me too! I don't think enough fir ne to watch this though.

Thanks.

[Liberty City]

Same; I hate to say it. Although, if on BET (network), I may give it a trying shot, but Tyler Perry's productions just all feel the same to me.

[DemetriKane]

All he is good for these days is nice eye candy.

 It's a sure shame he has his excellent film studio property and It took him years to invite in other directors, producers, and writers.

[DemetriKane]

It is. Tyler could be a real power player, that studio should be real competition for the other studios. Just imagine Tyler Perry presents 'MOONLIGHT', 'GET OUT', 'SINNERS'? He is taking the easy way out.

I think he's just found a formula that makes a ton of money....very fast and cheaply made programs with a dose of eye candy that get enough viewership to turn a nice profit. Didn't I read that they film a whole season of The Oval in two weeks and mostly in one take? If you watch, you can tell. Very long scenes (less camera/lighting set-ups) that repeat the same dialogue over and over. Actors in the same costumes for multiple episodes (less money needed for wardrobe!). Questionable acting ability from some. Etc. etc.

He had a movie on Netflix that was supposedly shot in 5 days! You can't crank out a Sinners that way.

I agree that most of his shows/movies all feel the same. I get the sense that the reason he doesn't branch out into big budget is that he likes to control every single aspect, too, including the writing. While some of his stuff can be entertaining at times, I don't think he has a "SINNERS" or "GET OUT" in him. That's just not his bag.

Likely not as a series regular. Those listed in the article are series regulars. Tyrell is most likely recurring at best.

[DemetriKane]

Oh, I definitely agree. He does seem like he enjoys controlling everything. I don't believe he has a 'SINNERS' in him either, but his name is a brand and carries weight with most of the black audience. He does not need to write or direct anymore, just operate as a production house that puts his name and money behind greater creators. There is opportunity for this studio to grow into an MGM/Warner Bros.
