Tyler Perry's ‘Madea's Destination Wedding' Movie Gets Release Date
Tyler Perry is bringing Madea back to the screen this summer in a brand-new adventure filled with laughter, chaos, and family drama — Madea's Destination Wedding. Written and directed by Perry, the film marks the 13th installment in the beloved franchise and arrives just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Perry's first Madea film, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which debuted in 2005. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Bahamas, Madea's Destination Wedding finds the sharp-tongued matriarch navigating a tropical family gathering that, of course, doesn't go as planned. Joining Perry are franchise veterans Cassi Davis, Tamela Mann, and David Mann, along with Diamond White, Taja V. Simpson, Xavier Smalls, and Jermaine Harris. 'I'm filled with a tremendous amount of pride when I think of how Madea has continuously captivated audiences throughout the years,' Perry told People in a statement. 'She's meant to bring joy, laughter and comfort, and to see people are still watching and enjoying is a wonderful thing,' he adds. 'Audiences have enjoyed watching Madea in hilariously entertaining scenarios as the family's matriarch, but now she's a fish out of water on vacation. There was a lot more fun and ridiculousness to play with in this Bahamas setting. A family vacation with Madea at the helm also invites audiences to laugh together and feel like they're along for the journey.' The film is one of several projects currently in development under Perry's creative partnership with Netflix, which includes Tyler Perry's Straw, Ruth & Boaz, She the People, and new episodes of Beauty in Black. With Madea's Destination Wedding, Perry continues to expand his ever-growing creative universe — delivering heartfelt comedy while showcasing Black family life in his signature style. Madea's Destination Wedding premieres globally on Netflix on July 11. More from Tyler Perry's Hit BET+ Series 'Sistas' Gets 'Divorced Sistas' Spinoff Starring LeToya Luckett Terri J.

Shemar Moore reacts to cancellation of 'S.W.A.T.' and makes an attempt to save it in video
'S.W.A.T.' will not be returning for a ninth season. On March 7, Shemar Moore, who plays Sgt. Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson in the series, shared his thoughts about the drama being canceled by CBS for the third time. "We are canceled again. It sucks. It's sad. Had to give a speech today on set to the crew," he says in an Instagram video. 'Uncanceled, canceled, uncanceled twice, two years in a row, Now I don't know my history, but how many shows get to say that?" he adds. "I'm going to say none or I'm going to say that we're close to one of the none. But we did that and we are so proud.' Though he asks CBS to change its mind about the cancellation, he says he would still be OK if another platform decided to pick up the series, like Netflix. "Hey, Netflix, how you doing?" Moore says. "Let me just remind you that in a very short period of time, once upon a time ago, not too long ago, it only took us about two weeks to go from No. 15, No. 12, to No. 1. Hey, I said it. And then we stayed in your top 10, top 15 for about six months, nine months, maybe a year. So Netflix, if you're interested in a show that is on autopilot that the world is watching, we'd love to come play." "NBC, Fox, ABC: Hey, you want to come flirt with me? You're invited to the barbecue. Pick your favorite restaurant. I will pay the bill," he continues. Moore ends his video by thanking the fans for tuning in to "S.W.A.T." The "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" star also shares what's next for him. "I'm excited about my new chapter. Right now, I'm just going to chase around my little baby girl, my little daughter, but then I'll get back on the saddle, put my cape on and go be Shemar Franklin Moore," he says. "But hey, us over here at 'S.W.A.T.,' we say thank you, but we ain't done handling our business. So hollar at us." According to Deadline, "S.W.A.T." was canceled for the first time in May 2023. Days later, CBS decided to reverse the decision and let the show end on what was said to be its seventh and final season. However, the network surprised fans again when it renewed the drama for Season Eight, only to have it be canceled again. Andrew Dettmann, showrunner and executive producer of "S.W.A.T.," shared his thoughts about the show being canceled in a statement to 'It's heartbreaking news, primarily because it's been such an immense pleasure working with this cast and crew to put out a show that we've always been proud of. They are truly an extraordinary group of people who have all worked so hard and have been so dedicated for all these eight seasons, overcoming countless challenges," he said. "I can't give them enough credit. I feel so privileged to have been a part of the S.W.A.T. family.' Shawn Ryan, also an executive producer of "S.W.A.T.," said he had a good time working on the show. 'It's been an extraordinary privilege to work on S.W.A.T. for eight seasons and tell the stories of Hondo and 20-Squad," he told in a statement. "I thank our fans, Shemar Moore, the rest of our cast, our producers, Sony Pictures Television, CBS Studios and CBS for the opportunity. Most of all I want to thank our tireless, dedicated crew who made our writers, directors and cast always look good. My greatest concern right now is for them.' Online, fans said they will miss the series. "Noooo!!!! I don't know why they keep trying to cancel. Is such a great show and is very popular!" one person commented on Moore's Instagram video. "I will definitely miss it if it can't be saved again. One of my favorite shows of all time." Another said, "No!!! Netflix come through, we need more seasons!" A third added, "It's unbelievable. Eight seasons of a show that was action-packed and had good ratings. Now to simply cancel it... no words. This cannot be a final decision. Thank you to the entire crew in front of and behind the camera for the incredible performance." This article was originally published on
