Watch The First Trailer For Tyler Perry’s Final Madea Film, “A Madea Family Funeral”

Tyler Perry is officially saying goodbye to his character Madea in his upcoming film, “A Madea Family Reunion.” He stated in a Sirius XM interview that “I’m happy to kill that old bitch.” 

“A Madea Family Funeral” was written and directed again by Perry, and he also revealed there will be one more Madea play in 2019. According to IMDB, the film is centered around “a joyous family reunion becomes a hilarious nightmare as Madea and the crew travel to backwoods Georgia, where they find themselves unexpectedly planning a funeral that might unveil unsavory family secrets.”

In his interview with Bevy Smith, he went on to explain why this film came a little later than expected. Perry stated he “didn’t want to go from Boo to Boo 2 to another Madea” right away, so he released Acrimony with star Taraji P. Henson in between. “And then I wanted to do this one and then drop out.”

“I just don’t want to be her age playing her,” he added.

“A Madea Family Funeral” is set to premiere March 1st, 2019. Watch the trailer below.
