BET is embracing the legacy of Tyler Perry, the renowned creator, by extending the reach of his captivating dramas and comedies to a broader audience. The Paramount-backed network is introducing two exciting FAST channels dedicated solely to Perry's celebrated BET and BET+ series. Named aptly as BET Tyler Perry Drama and BET Tyler Perry Comedy, these channels will showcase, for the first time, Perry's entire BET repertoire on a freely accessible streaming platform.
The channels boast an impressive lineup of over 600 hours of episodes spanning across various hits such as 'Sistas,' 'The Oval,' 'House of Payne,' 'Ruthless,' 'All the Queen's Men,' 'Zatima,' 'Assisted Living,' and 'Bruh.' Additionally, other beloved series that Perry crafted for TBS and OWN before his landmark deal with BET, including 'Meet the Browns,' 'The Haves and the Have Nots,' and 'For Better or Worse,' will gradually find their way onto these FAST channels.
"The integration of Perry's content into FAST channels marks a significant milestone in our partnership," exclaimed Louis Carr, President of Media Sales at BET Media Group. "We are delighted to offer Black audiences a refreshing way to enjoy Tyler Perry's captivating creations and broaden the accessibility of our original programming."
Back in April, Perry inked a renewed content partnership with BET, encompassing the renewal of several series and the addition of a new scripted series titled 'Route 187.' The agreement, which spans until 2028, also allows Perry to continue developing new projects. Moreover, he holds a first-look TV deal and a film deal with Netflix, along with a four-movie pact with Amazon.
These two Perry-dedicated FAST channels are now available on Roku, Pluto TV, Plex, TCL, and Amazon's Freevee, with more platforms soon to join the list.
