Families can talk about the strong ties among family members in Madea's Family Reunion, and the power of forgiveness (why is it important that Vanessa forgives her mother, even though Victoria allowed her husband to abuse Vanessa sexually as a child?).

On The Set Of The Upcoming Tyler Perry Movie You may not have known that Tyler Perry shot scenes at Atlantis in April of this year. Bahamian entertainer Jaquay “DasQuay” Adderley had the opportunity to be on set with the movie mogul.

Following the success, Netflix signed up for two Madea sequels, and one of them, titled "Madea's Destination Wedding," is set to start filming in January 2024. The basic plotline involves Madea's granddaughter announcing her wedding in two weeks, throwing the entire family into chaos.

Madea was 68 in the first play, I Can Do Bad All by Myself, as well as Madea's Class Reunion. In A Madea Homecoming, set in 2022, it is said she is 95 years old, but with a birth year of 1935, she would actually be 88.

Cassi Davis returns to her role as Aunt Bam, the lecherous first cousin of Madea. She leans into her reputation early on in the movie, and that leads to more than a few hilarious moments. Davis has appeared in multiple Madea movies, including Boo! A Madea Halloween and Madea on the Run.

Perry has been using the Madea character in comedic films, plays and TV shows for more than 20 years. His most recent movie, “A Madea Homecoming,” is supposedly the final one in the 10-movie franchise.

Helen Simmons-McCarter Is Madea's Granddaughter

Perry told CNN in a recent interview why he's saying goodbye to the feisty character after 10, soon to be 11, successful films. “I'll be 50 this year and I'm just at a place in my life where this next 50 I want to do things differently,” he said. “This character has been amazing.

Mabel Simmons is known to the world as Madea, which is a cross between two words, Mother and Dear. It's a Southern term of endearment, sometimes used as a moniker for grandmother. But when you consider Madea's wild ways, it could mean “Bad A** Black Woman.”

Perry's trademark character, Madea, was created in his play I Can Do Bad All by Myself (2000; film 2009). The brutally honest, rambunctious gun-toting grandmother, whose name comes from the frequent African American contraction of “Mother Dear,” was played by Perry in drag.

With Tyler Perry being as famous as he is, it might be obvious why he has properties in California and Georgia, but the actor also has a mansion in Wyoming. While there aren't many details on this home, we know that he uses it for vacation getaways.
