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.
