He recently got approval from the city of Atlanta to use additional housing on his 330-acre tract at Fort MacPherson, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Tyler Perry Studios will implement rigorous health protocols, including testing, for all those who are summoned back to work, the AJC reports.
It is expected that Perry will use the extra housing to keep crew and actors on the property throughout shooting and production.
Meanwhile, BET Plus, Perry’s streaming service with the black entertainment network, continues to roll out new episodes of new content.
