The Madea franchise is primarily split between a few major streaming homes, with a significant partnership with Netflix driving the newest content. Here is the current breakdown of the primary streaming services that offer Tyler Perry’s Madea films for subscription viewing.
Netflix: The Home for New Madea Originals
Netflix holds the exclusive rights to the newest Madea content, making it a must-have for any dedicated fan.

- A Madea Homecoming (2022): This film, which brought Madea out of retirement, is also a Netflix original and remains available for streaming.
- Rotating Classics: Other older titles from the Madea filmography, like Madea's Witness Protection or A Madea Christmas, often rotate in and out of the Netflix library, so check the current listings.
BET+ and Amazon Prime Video: The Core Library
For the majority of the classic films and all things Tyler Perry, BET+ and Amazon Prime Video are essential. BET+ positions itself as the exclusive destination for the larger Tyler Perry Studios catalog.

Topical Authority and Legacy of Mable Simmons
The enduring popularity of the Madea franchise, which began with the 1999 stage play I Can Do Bad All by Myself, is a testament to Tyler Perry's genius in creating a character that resonates deeply with audiences.
