Move over, Netflix and BET. Madea’s coming to Amazon Studios. Or at least, her creator, Tyler Perry is. The Atlanta-based filmmaker recently inked a four-picture agreement with the powerful company’s streaming and film production arm.
That means that in addition to holding casting calls, he’ll soon be hiring at his movie studio for Amazon Prime shows and movies.
“I’m excited and grateful to start working with Amazon Studios to bring movies to Prime Video,” said in a statement. “Jennifer Salke [Head of Amazon Studios] and the entire team have welcomed me with open arms. I’m looking forward to continuing telling unique stories and bringing my next projects to the global audiences that they reach.”
“Tyler Perry is undeniably one of the most prolific creators of our time. He is a true multihyphenate who has defined his own incredible brand of storytelling and inspired people all over the world with his series and films,” Amazon Studios head Salke was quoted as saying. “We are excited to collaborate with Tyler and his teams to bring even more of his fantastic signature films to our global audiences.”
Perry hopes to capitalize on his success with Netflix, where he brought A Fall From Grace and A Jazzman’s Blues to the streaming platform.
It’s been nothing short of a meteoric rise for Perry, who was born into poverty in New Orleans.
As a struggling playwright, Perry says he had to make his own path to stardom.
“You got to understand, I had no mentors,” Perry told Forbes. “My father doesn’t know anything about business, and my uncles and mother, they know nothing about this. I didn’t go to business school. Everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned in progress.”
Perry says he was told that the audience he was catering to wouldn’t be able to support full-feature films.
From Chitlin Circuit To Media Mogul
“ ‘Black people who go to church don’t go to the movies,’ ” Perry told Forbes that he was told back then. “I came from a place where Black people had already embraced me and loved me. I was completely happy there, and still am.”
Perry joins an exclusive list when it comes to being one of the richest businessmen in the state. Here is Georgia’s billionaires club.Read more: Best work from home jobs in Atlanta, Georgia

What Is The Underdoggs About?
The Underdoggs is about a former professional football player named Jaycen Jennings (Snoop Dogg) who has to coach a peewee football team as a condition of his parole.
“The Underdoggs is a real personal project for me considering that I’ve been coaching football for 15+ years with the Snoop Youth Football League that I started with my long-time business partner Constance Schwartz-Morini. Giving back to the community through football has taught us so many invaluable life lessons that we’ve been able to share with kids in similar situations like mine when I was growing up. My hope is that this movie will shed light on the realities that kids and adults face in the hood and within the complex world of football,” said Snoop Dogg.
“Having been fortunate to work with each in the past, I can attest that Snoop, Charles, and Kenya are the perfect ingredients to make Underdoggs a classic sports comedy,” said Jonathan Glickman. “In particular, Snoop’s personal connection to the material will make for a film that not only delivers laughs, but a whole lot of heart for generations of fans.”

Man in Full, a Netflix series, is casting actors and extras over the next week to film scenes in Atlanta.
Filming for A Man In Full began the first week of August 2022 and is scheduled to run into mid-December. Keep reading to learn more about the project, including casting call information.
What Is The Plot Of A Man In Full?
What we know about the plot for A Man in Full can be gleaned from the 1998 Tom Wolfe bestselling novel, which the series has been adapted from.
Here’s a summary of the novel:
The setting is Atlanta, Georgia-a racially mixed, late-century boomtown full of fresh wealth and wily politicians. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta conglomerate king whose outsize ego has at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 29,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife-and a half-empty office complex with a staggering load of debt.
Meanwhile, Conrad Hensley, idealistic young father of two, is laid off from his job at the Croker Global Foods warehouse near Oakland and finds himself spiraling into the lower depths of the American legal system. And back in Atlanta, when star Georgia Tech running back Fareek “the Cannon” Fanon, a homegrown product of the city’s slums, is accused of date-raping the daughter of a pillar of the white establishment, upscale black lawyer Roger White II is asked to represent Fanon and help keep the city’s delicate racial balance from blowing sky-high.

Atlanta rapper Lil Nas X has been tapped to star in a film from Coach for the launch of their Courage to Be Real branch.
In creating the film, Coach is aiming to encourage courageous self-expression. In enlisting Lil Nas X, the brand’s Courage to Be Real film drills down on its message about embracing all aspects of who you are with confidence—and inspiring others to express themselves authentically, too.
“My vision for Coach has always been to create a fashion world where people feel free to express themselves as they are,” said Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. “To bring this vision to life, I was thrilled to bring Lil Nas X and Petra Collins together with Coach for the first time—two artists who have changed the world around them by being themselves. The film we created together is a new form of storytelling that not only feels unexpected and different for us, it helps to create a community around the values we share with the next generation.”
Lil Nas X, Coach’s newest global ambassador, said that the campaign spoke to him because of its fearlessness.
“My whole career has been about breaking down doors, and this campaign represents everything I’ve overcome so far,” said Lil Nas X. “It’s about walking into new chapters of life, new experiences and new versions of myself, and it’s rooted in authenticity and self-expression—two things I really care about. It was really fun collaborating with Stuart and Petra to bring this to life.”
