Tyler Perry has been a trending topic lately, with one reason being his new BET+ series, Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas.
The LeToya Luckett-led drama made history on the streaming platform as the most-watched series premiere, something it accomplished within just three weeks.
According to a press release, the premiere has not only outperformed every BET+ series since the service launched in September 2019, but it has also significantly boosted the platform with a record 415,000 new subscription starts.

What other Perry shows are on?
Tyler Perry has several series on different platforms currently showing new episodes or have upcoming seasons.
His Netflix series She The People will reportedly undergo a name change. A nonprofit organization of the same name (who has a trademark) filed a lawsuit. So, the new name will be Miss Governor.

Other popular shows include House of Payne, Sistas, Zatima, All the Queen’s Men, Assisted Living, and more.
Classic shows similar to the series
If the mood of Divorced Sistas feels familiar, it’s because there are classic shows that also follow a group of women friends in different stages of their lives. Two are Living Single and Girlfriends.
