Tyler Perry’s *She the People*, a political comedy series, premiered on Netflix on May 22, 2025. The show follows Antoinette Dunkerson, Mississippi’s first Black lieutenant governor, as she navigates political challenges and family dynamics. The first season consists of 16 episodes, released in two parts, with the second batch scheduled for August 14, 2025.
While Netflix and Tyler Perry Studios have not disclosed the exact production budget for *She the People*, industry analyses suggest that Perry’s productions are known for their cost-effectiveness. For instance, his 2024 film *The Six Triple Eight* had a reported budget of \$70 million and became his most-watched film on Netflix, amassing 52.4 million views in its first four weeks. This success boosted viewership for his other Netflix projects.
Given this context, *She the People* is anticipated to be a profitable venture for both Tyler Perry Studios and Netflix. The series’ timely themes, combined with Perry’s established audience, position it well for strong viewership and potential profitability.
