“Madea’s Destination Wedding” centers on the character’s granddaughter, who brings her new boyfriend around her family for the first time.
Tyler Perry plans to revive his all-star character Madea for an upcoming movie set to stream on Netflix.
The film, “Madea’s Destination Wedding,” centers on the character’s granddaughter, Tiffany, who brings her new boyfriend, Zavier, around her family for the first time. She later reveals that she and Zavier are engaged and will have a destination wedding in the Bahamas.
While the vacation is supposed to be a celebration of love and focus on the couple becoming a union, events leading up to the ceremony test the fate of the pair.
Shooting of “Madea’s Destination Wedding” began on Jan.15 in Atlanta and will continue through this Friday at the filmmaker’s production company, Tyler Perry Studios. It will resume filming in the Dominican Republic on dates that have yet to be released.
In 2023, Perry and Netflix formed a partnership in which he was granted the creative range to write, direct and produce feature films under a multi-year, first-look contract. His deal includes the production of eight films over the next four years.
