Tyler Perry Confirms “House Of Payne” Revival, Along With New Comedy Series “Assisted Living” On BET
Good news! House of Payne is coming back to TV screens!
According to Deadline, Tyler Perry has confirmed the revival series will be airing on BET, with original stars: LaVan Davis, Cassi Davis Patton, Lance Gross, Demetria McKinney, China Anne McClain, Larramie “Doc” Shaw, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Allen Payne set to return.
House of Payne revival series picks up five years later, as retired fire chief Curtis Payne (LaVan Davis) and his lovely wife Ella (Cassi Davis Patton) continue to navigate the problems of life with their quirky modern-day family.
This will make the show’s 7th season.
Additionally, BET Networks and Tyler Perry Studios have announced a series greenlight for Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living, a new comedy series, starring David Mann, Tamela Mann, J. Anthony Brown, Na’im Lynn, Courtney Nichole, Tayler Buck and Alex Henderson.
Assisted Living revolves around Jeremy (Na’im Lynn), the patriarch of a young family with teenage children. After losing his job, he decides to move to the backwoods of Georgia to help his crazy grandfather. Grandpa Vinny (J. Anthony Brown) has foolishly purchased a terribly run-down home for the elderly and he is in way over his head, but comedy ensues as Mr. Brown (David Mann) and Cora (Tamela Mann) show up at the right time as needy investors.
David Mann plays Mr. Brown who reluctantly invests in a dilapidated assisted living facility. He agrees because he has deep-seated animosity towards Vinny, the current owner.
Tamela Mann plays Cora, Mr. Brown’s daughter who falls in love with the assisted living facility. She thinks it will be a good investment for herself and her father.
Brown plays Vinny, Jeremy’s grandfather. Vinny is living in a rundown assisted living facility and is growing weed.
Nichole plays Leah, Jeremy’s supportive wife. When she realizes that it may be Jeremy’s inheritance, she suggests that they stay in Georgia and fix up and run the assisted living building.
Buck plays Sandra, Leah and Jeremy’s daughter who is a typical phone-obsessed teenager.
Henderson plays Philip, Leah and Jeremy’s son who is a typical loudmouth teenager.
Tyler hinted these shows in a post back in January.
Both series — that are executive produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry — have begun production at Tyler Perry Studios and are set to premiere on BET this summer.
