Tyler Perry’s She the People Premieres Netflix May August

Tyler Perry's new Netflix political comedy series "She the People" premieres its first eight episodes on May 22, 2025, with the remaining eight episodes releasing on August 14, 2025. The show stars Terri J. Vaughn as Antoinette Dunkerson, the newly elected Black female lieutenant governor of Mississippi, who navigates a sexist governor, political challenges, and balancing her outspoken family in the public eye. Vaughn, also an executive producer, drew inspiration from real-life political figures and her own experiences growing up in San Francisco, aiming to blend humor with social commentary on sexism and political struggles. This series is the second under Perry's multi-year first-look deal with Netflix, following his recent successes including "The Six Triple Eight," which boosted viewership for his other films on the platform. Netflix has positioned 2025 as a prolific year for Perry’s projects, highlighting the strong partnership between the creator and the streaming service. A special screening and celebratory brunch were held recently, underscoring the anticipation surrounding the show’s release.
