Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming Netflix Original Film
Tyler Perry’s most beloved character — tough-talking, gun-toting grandmother Mabel “Madea” Simmons — is back for this latest film in the comedy franchise. Perry reprises his role as Madea, and he also produced, wrote and directed the movie, adapting the 2019 stage play Madea’s Farewell. The story centers around the college graduation of Madea’s great-grandson, though the celebratory moment comes to a halt as hidden secrets and family drama threaten to destroy the happy homecoming. Perry also portrays Joe and Brian Simmons, and additional cast members include familiar faces from the Madea franchise, including Tamela Mann (Cora), David Mann (Mr. Brown) and Cassi Davis Patton (Aunt Bam). Additionally, there is a guest appearance from Irish actor Brendan O’carroll, whose character, Agnes Brown, matches even Madea’s comedic prowess.
