Tyler Perry has solidified a new multi-year deal with Paramount company BET Media Group.
The mega-producer will renew eight of his shows on the channel and its streaming component, BET+. Those television series will include BET mainstays House of Payne, Sistas, The Oval, and Assisted Living, along with new seasons of All The Queen’s Men, Bruh, Zatima, and Ruthless, available on BET+.
The content deal will also include a brand new series for BET titled Route 187, the full plot of the crime thriller has yet to be revealed.
Perry partnership with Paramount/BET has evolved over the years, first signing a deal with Viacom in 2017, and later writing, producing, and directing the Tiffany Haddish led feature film Nobody’s Fool for Paramount Pictures.
As Viacom transitioned to ViacomCBS, Paramount Global, and then simply Paramount, Perry was rumored to be a contender for purchasing BET Media, a business move that would’ve made sense considering the amount of television series he produced for the company’s subsidiaries.

The new multi-year deal is non-exclusive and will enable Perry to continue to make content for Netflix, which he has done as part of a feature film deal with the Hollywood streamer. That deal eventually expanded into a multi-year, first look option freshly sealed at the top of 2024.
The Tyler Perry Studios founder has a lot of work ahead with his ties to Paramount and Netflix, along with operational duties back in Atlanta, Georgia where he runs one of the largest studio lots in North America. Not to mention, the media mogul is in the process of producing the highly-anticipated Sister Act 3. How exactly does he do it all?
