Tyler Perry don’t never let us down!

After six feature films in three years, the acclaimed playwright, screenwriter, actor, director, and producer has definitely made his mark in Hollywood. Slowly, but surely though, Perry is attempting to do the same thing in TV Land. Following the successful run of his popular sitcom ‘Tyler Perry’s House of Payne’, it has been announced that Perry is now bringing his latest movie, ‘Meet The Browns’ to the TBS network.

“Tyler Perry is an extraordinary talent who has turned ‘House of Payne’ into a record-breaking hit,” said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks. “We’re thrilled at having the chance to repeat that success with Leroy Brown, a character already proven to be a big hit with audiences.”


‘Meet The Browns’ stars David Mann as Leroy Brown, a character who earlier this year was featured in Perry’s hit film of the same name, which also starred Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett and former NBA superstar turned actor Rick Fox. The TV series, a spin-off based on characters of the ‘Meet The Browns’ play and movie, begins after Brown inherits a dilapidated house from his deceased father.


Perry’s new sitcom is set to premiere in January 2009.
