Published: June 9, 2025

Tyler Perry's iconic character, Madea, is back for a chaotic family vacation" in the latest installment of the Madea franchise, "Tyler Perry's Madea's Destination Wedding". The new movie arrives just in time for the 20th anniversary of the Madea movie franchise, which launched with "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" in 2005.

The movie sees Madea and her family flying off to the Bahamas for her grandniece's nuptials, which start to feel rushed and suspicious to the family matriarch. According to the synopsis, "Brian and his ex-wife Debrah are shocked to learn their daughter Tiffany is engaged to a rapper she met on a yacht — and the wedding is in two weeks."

Tyler Perry, who wrote and directed the film, said that the tropical setting will certainly shake things up. "Audiences have enjoyed watching Madea in hilariously entertaining scenarios as the family's matriarch, but now she's a fish out of water on vacation," he said. "There was a lot more fun and ridiculousness to play with in this Bahamas setting. A family vacation with Madea at the helm also invites audiences to laugh together and feel like they're along for the journey."

The movie stars Diamond White, Taja V. Simpson, Xavier Smalls, Cassi Davis, Tamela Mann, David Mann, and Jermaine Harris. This marks the second Madea film to be released in creative partnership with Netflix following 2022's "A Madea Homecoming".
