Netflix announced on Tuesday that Madea will be shot entirely at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. Perry’s films, including 11 in the Madea franchise, have grossed over 1 billion dollars at the North American box office.
The upcoming Madea project continues Perry’s work with Netflix following last year’s release of A Fall From Grace which was seen by 39M households in its first month. He is also writing, directing and producing “A Jazzman’s Blues” for Netflix. Starring
Joshua Boone and
Solea Pfeiffer, the film unravels forty years of secrets and lies in a tale of forbidden love and family drama soundtracked by juke joint blues in the deep South.
