One of the biggest names in Hollywood has officially joined forces with one of the biggest names in streaming. Tyler Perry has signed a first-look deal with Netflix.
The partnership is described as a multiyear agreement that would have the writer, producer, director and entertainment mogul behind the Madea movies creating content for the platform.
