Terri J. Vaughn Stars In ‘Tyler Perry's She The People' Comedy Series
Terri J. Vaughn is ready for her political career, or so she thought, as the star of Tyler Perry's She the People. In her latest role, the actress brings to life Antoinette Dunkerson, who, after running a successful campaign for lieutenant governor, must figure out, 'how to thrive under a sexist and condescending governor, while attempting to keep her family in line now that they're all in the public eye.'
The first eight episodes of the series are set to premiere on Netflix on May 22, 2025, with the second half due to be released on Aug. 14. Alongside Vaughn, the comedy stars Jo Marie Payton, Jade Novah, Drew Olivia Tillman, Tré Boyd, and Dyon Brooks.
Tyler Perry's She the People is created by the acclaimed filmmaker who also serves as writer, director, and producer. Niya Palmer is co-creator of the series with Perry. Additionally, Palmer, former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Vaughn executive produce. Angi Bones and Tony L. Strickland will also produce for Tyler Perry Studios.
The series is one of several projects that Perry currently has in the works at the streamer. As the hit drama Beauty in Black continues to play out, both original series and new movies are set to come from the 55-year-old.
Fans of Perry's work can also expect Madea's Destination Wedding, Straw starring Taraji P. Henson, and the faith-based film R&B later this year. Also, last month, the Louisiana native announced the Dream Collective program to help empower the next generation of filmmakers from marginalized communities.

Nobody Wants This cast announce release date for season two
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have confirmed season two of Nobody Wants This will drop later this year. Loosely inspired by creator Erin Foster's own experiences, the hit Netflix show follows agnostic podcaster Joanne (Bell) as she starts a relationship with an unconventional rabbi named Noah (Brody). The show was renewed for a second series shortly after it premiered via the streamer last September, and on Sunday, the cast revealed the new episodes will drop on 23 October. The news was shared by Bell, Brody, and fellow actors Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn at Netflix's FYSEE LA Emmy Event. In addition, producers posted a video online in which the actors are seen celebrating the release date by asking a Magic 8 Ball questions regarding the "scoop" on the second season. Bell begins by asking, "Will the Matzah Ballers (fictional basketball team) make the playoffs?" to which she gets the response: "Try again, loser." The cast also questions whether there will be "another iconic kiss this season," referring to a memorable scene between Bell and Brody's characters in the second episode, and if Joanne's sister Morgan, as played by Lupe, will "find love". To conclude, Bell asks the Magic 8 Ball what's coming in October, to which she gets the response: "Ask a rabbi". "And the rabbi says: season two! Your favourite show and mine, Nobody Wants This," adds Brody. In a recent interview for Netflix's Queue magazine, the former star of The O.C. recalled how the entire cast of Nobody Wants This instantly bonded. "We just enjoy each other so much," he gushed. "I know these are early days, but we're not young kids. We're stable. And I would imagine if we go a long time, we'll still feel that way. I just really, really, really like everyone."
