Tyler Perry is teaming up with BET to launch two new, free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels. BET’s Tyler Perry Comedy and Tyler Perry Drama channels will offer audiences over 600 hours of original programming, highlights and cast conversations.
The channels are set to launch on FAST platforms which include Roku, Pluto TV, Plex, TCL, Freevee and more to come. The channels will launch with marathons of “Tyler Perry’s Sistas”, “Tyler Perry’s The Oval”, “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne”, “Tyler Perry’s Ruthless”, “Tyler Perry’s Zatima”, “Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living”, and “All the Queens Men”.
Shows set to be added at another date include “Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns,” “Tyler Perry’s The Haves and The Have Nots,” “Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse,” and “Tyler Perry’s Too Close To Home.”
"The introduction of Perry's content to FAST channels is a momentous occasion in our partnership," Louis Carr, President of Media Sales at BET Media Group, emphasized.
The new channels came as a previous contract between Perry and BET was coming to an end this year. Under the new agreement, Perry will deliver hundreds of new episodes to BET, which will be comprised of both existing and new series.
"We're thrilled to provide Black audiences with a fresh avenue to enjoy Tyler Perry's content and offer more access options for our original programming,” continued Carr.
