In the eyes of BET Media Group, Tyler Perry can do no wrong.
Since Perry signed a collaborative deal with parent company Paramount Global in 2019, he has developed eight shows for BET and its sister streaming service BET+. Not one has been canceled.
The shows — a mix of sitcoms, dramedies and dramas — are all active and have aired fresh episodes in the past year, with a ninth show set to debut this summer. To date, Perry has provided 812 episodes of original TV show content for BET and BET+ since 2019.
BET doesn’t release ratings data for its streaming shows, but the network said “Tyler Perry’s Sistas” is among the highest-rated shows on TV for younger Black viewers.
“Tyler Perry has been the most incredible partner to BET, delivering record-breaking hits and top series year after year,” said Scott Mills, president and CEO of BET Media Group.
Perry has an enviable track record in a world where programs are canceled on a regular basis. The only comparable single powerhouse at one network is Dick Wolf, who produces six scripted dramas for NBC: three “Law & Order” shows and the trio of “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” Perry does have an advantage many of his peers do not: He happens to own a minority stake in BET+.
Perry recently announced his ninth show, new drama “Divorced Sistas” set in the same universe as “Sistas” with all new characters.
