Tyler Perry's phenomenal success owes a great deal to his philosophy of an ownership stake in most of his eneavors.

Tyler Perry Studios and Pantheon Media Group, which last year formed a joint venture to create and produce unscripted content, have sealed a multi-seres development deal with A+E Global Media (the company formerly known as A+E Networks).

Tyler Perry doesn't often find himself getting emotional over his work — but thanks to Kerry Washington, that just changed. Back in December 2024, Kerry starred as Major Charity Adams in Tyler's movie The Six Triple Eight on Netflix.

Other news from a Wednesday A+E news blitz include a Judd family documentary at Lifetime and, because 15 seasons weren't enough, new (longer!) episodes of 'Storage Wars.'
