A Look Inside Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta

Now that he’s sold its equity stake in BET+ to Paramount Skydance, let’s take a peek inside Tyler Perry’s famous studio and stages in Atlanta!

In 2019, Tyler Perry became the first Black person to fully own a TV and film studio lot. After a star-studded opening night, the studio has seen many major films and TV shows filmed there since its inception, including “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Coming 2 America,” “Mea Culpa,” “House of Payne,” “Sistas,” and more.

His long-term success, especially when it came to his collaborations with BET, eventually led him to secure a production deal with the network’s parent company, Paramount, in 2019. Well, fast forward to 2026, and Paramount has now decided to fold BET’s popular streaming platform BET+ into its broader Paramount+ streaming app. This shocking move was only made possible by Paramount taking over Perry’s 25 percent minority ownership stake in BET+.

Now, all the shows on the app, including Perry’s “All the Queen’s Men,” “Zatima,” and more, will now be merged onto Paramount+ starting in June, per The Hollywood Reporter.

So it’s because of that, we thought it would be fitting to take a peek at Perry’s famous studio and let you in on which shows each set is from! Keep reading to find out more. Here’s hoping Perry’s shows can find a new audience with this merger!

Now, while this county jail may not ring any bells right away, it looks vaguely familiar to the jail that was shown in Perry’s hit 2013 series “The Haves and the Have Nots.”

The Coffee Shop

Aside from the fact that “Brown Bean” is a cute name for a coffee shop, this particular one was featured in the 2018 film, “Nobody’s Fool,” starring Tika Sumpter, Tiffany Haddish and Omari Hardwick.

Though it only aired for one season, fans may remember May Sally’s Diner from the 2016 series, “Too Close to Home.”

This bank may not be named Brookhaven Bank & Trust from “Sistas,” but that’s exactly what this reminds us of.

We might have missed this particular TP production, but if you know, dear reader, please enlighten us!

Have you ever seen something that looks so familiar you know you’ve seen it plenty of times yet you can’t put your finger on where exactly? Yeah, that’s how we feel about this church stage.

The Farmhouse

Another location from “Too Close to Home,” this time it’s Dr. Allen’s farmhouse.

Historic District House

We can’t say with 100 percent certainty, but looking at the exterior, this definitely looks like the house from “Boo! A Madea Halloween.”

Lakeside Cabin

Once again, we wouldn’t bet all our money on it, but this looks like the cabin that housed the unfortunate sexual assault scene from Perry’s work, “A Jazzman’s Blues.”

The Oval Office

I mean, he literally has a series called “The Oval.” This one is too easy.

The Post Theater

We’re not too sure about this one, but it feels like something we haven’t seen before.

The Prison Yard

We feel like Madea was probably caught fighting out at this prison yard at some point in “Madea Goes to Jail,” so that’ll be our guess.

Rustic Cabin

This rustic cabin makes us recall the weird cabin Randall was hiding out in from Perry’s show “If Loving You Is Wrong.” We could be wrong, but that’s what it’s giving!

The White House

Of course, just like the Oval Office, the White House has been seen in shows like “The Oval” and “The Have & Have Nots.”
