Tyler Perry is no stranger to storytelling that centers Black women, resilience, and complicated relationships. Now, he’s diving deeper into the world of sisterhood with his newest series, Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas—a fresh extension of his wildly successful SISTAS franchise. The new drama premieres with a special sneak peek Monday, June 9, immediately following the 2025 BET Awards, before making its official streaming debut on BET+ Tuesday, June 10.

The eight-episode season unfolds weekly on BET+, with Episode 2 arriving June 12 and the midseason finale set for July 24. With a stacked cast, rich character development, and the emotional beats Perry fans have come to expect, Divorced Sistas is shaping up to be one of the summer’s must-watch series.

At the heart of the show are five women whose bonds run deeper than their shared history with heartbreak. These aren’t your typical divorcees—they’re complex, powerful, and navigating a new reality with vulnerability and grace.

• Rasheda (LeToya Luckett) is the poised First Lady of God’s Light Christian Church, struggling to maintain her composure and purpose in a marriage overshadowed by her husband’s pulpit.
• Geneva (Khadeen Indréa), a brilliant partner at a law firm, is juggling the quiet unraveling of her marriage while upholding the perfect image of success.
• Naomi (Porscha Coleman) is fiery and fearless, fueled by the pain of a bitter divorce and hell-bent on making sure her ex-husband Franklin doesn’t get the last word.
• Tiffany (Briana Price) is a loyal single mom putting the pieces of her life back together while working full-time as a realtor.
• Bridgette (Jennifer Sears), Rasheda’s right-hand woman at church, may seem like the peacemaker of the group—but even she harbors quiet doubts and desires that complicate the sisterhood.

Together, these women form a support system that’s both empowering and strained. As they lean on each other through breakups, dating woes, spiritual awakenings, and the ugly truths about love and loyalty, they discover that the real drama isn’t just in their past relationships—it’s in their present friendship.

The male cast isn’t just eye candy—they’re integral to the emotional push-and-pull that drives each character’s evolution:

• RonReaco Lee plays William, Geneva’s husband, whose charm and fatherly devotion mask growing distance in their marriage.
• DeVon Franklin, stepping into a rare acting role, portrays Pastor Jefferson—a man more committed to his congregation than his own wife, Rasheda.
• Donovan Christie Jr. is Franklin, Naomi’s smug ex, who’s moved on fast and isn’t afraid to rub salt in old wounds.
• Robert Christopher Riley plays Javon, a ghost from the past with unfinished business, setting the stage for even more drama.

While Divorced Sistas explores the fallout of marriages gone wrong, the series is ultimately about what comes next. These women aren’t victims of their circumstances—they’re architects of their futures. Whether it's reclaiming self-worth, finding love again, or confronting hard truths within their friend group, the show presents a layered view of Black womanhood rarely explored on screen.

Perry—who serves as the creator, writer, director, and executive producer—continues to provide a platform for Black actresses to lead emotionally complex narratives. Divorced Sistas feels like the grown-up, more nuanced cousin of SISTAS—where the stakes are higher, the healing is deeper, and the sisterhood is truly tested.

Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas is the perfect companion to Culture’s Biggest Night. After the glitz and glamour of the 2025 BET Awards on June 9, stick around for a first look at the series. Then, catch the full episodes every Thursday on BET+ starting June 10.

Because sometimes, the real story begins after the "I do" becomes "I'm done."
