The Hollywood Reporter

Perry will oversee 75 hours of original content for BET+ between October 2019 and September 2020. Additionally, Perry's old TBS shows House of Payne and Meet the Browns are also joining the BET streaming service (but none of his OWN shows). "In our industry, the way people consume content is constantly evolving. I’ve paid attention to my audience and what works for them and, for that reason, I’m very excited not only about the idea of partnering with BET to create new and exciting content, but also about the idea of giving people a personalized experience through the ability to curate the content they love to consume," says Perry. "On a personal level, this will also be the first time I’ll be working in areas like unscripted and variety television, which will afford me the opportunity to work in fresh, creative ways with new voices and to discover new talent."
