Per a press release provided to The Root, on Tuesday, it was announced that an all-new specialโ€”titled A Madea Homecomingโ€”would be heading to Netflix towards the end of February. As previously reported by The Root, despite Tyler Perryโ€™s best efforts at saying goodbye and retiring the rambunctious, gun-toting, Bible scripture-quoting grandma, he ultimately decided to bring her back in the summertime of 2021 after seeing the state that the country was in.

โ€œWe need to laugh man, too much is going on in the country,โ€ Perry said at the time. โ€œSo I was stunned, but sheโ€™s coming back. Madeaโ€™s coming to Netflix.โ€

And what a comeback itโ€™s shaping up to be. Perry had been alluding to the forthcoming feature, dropping images of Madea nodding to different pop culture events like Adeleโ€™s recent album cover and Beyoncรฉโ€™s iconic 2018 Coachella performance.

A Madea Homecoming, starring the award-winning multi-hyphenate, will โ€œcenter around Madeaโ€™s great-grandsonโ€™s college graduation, though the celebratory moment hits a halt as hidden secrets and family drama threaten to destroy the happy homecoming. The film features all-stars of the MADEA franchise, including Tamela Mann (Cora), David Mann (Mr. Brown), Cassi Davis Patton (Aunt Bam) as well as a guest appearance from iconic Irish actor Brendan Oโ€™Carroll, who matches Madeaโ€™s comedic prowess as Agnes Brown.โ€

โ€œI was looking at the state of the world and how polarized it isโ€ฆ nobodyโ€™s laughing. Nobodyโ€™s getting the chance to belly-laugh anymore,โ€ Perry explained to Entertainment Weekly. โ€œAnd Iโ€™m like, โ€˜What tool do I have in my arsenal that can bring that kind of laughter?โ€™โ€

Be sure to mark your calendars for A Madea Homecoming, which makes it Netflix debut on Feb. 25.
