Coming Out Strong: Tyler Perry's ‘Divorced Sistas' Becomes The Most Watched Original Series In BET+ History
Flowers are due today (July 2nd), as BET+ announced some exciting news about its newest show Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas . Performance data shows that just halfway through the eight-episode season, existing subscribers and new fans of the show have boosted the drama series to the most-watched series premiere on BET+ in just three weeks.
Divorced Sistas follows five friends – Rasheda (LeToya Luckett), Geneva (Khadeen Indréa), Naomi (Porscha Coleman), Tiffany (Briana Price), and Bridgette (Jennifer Sears) – all battling life and relationship woes at some stage of divorce, marriage, and dating…but it's the battle within their circle that tests their true character and love for one another.
To maximize awareness of the new series, the network gave linear audiences a special sneak peek of the first episode directly after the BET Awards 2025 broadcast (Monday, June 9th), with the second episode dropping on BET+ on Thursday, June 12th. Considering the numbers, the strategy obviously worked. There are several key statistical highlights that support that claim.
The Divorced Sistas season premiere marked the most-watched premiere of any BET+ series since the service launched in September 2019. Since the premiere, the series has driven 415,000 new subscription starts. That's 178& more than any season one original series across third-party platforms* and BET+, ranking as the third most successful series launch in platform history. Furthermore, on social, the series has accumulated 46.8 million video views and 23.4 million minutes watched across BET's social channels.
Congrats to Tyler Perry, the cast and everyone involved with the series' early success. New episodes of Divorced Sistas , which is created, written, and directed by Tyler Perry (who also serves as an executive producer) drop weekly on BET+, with the first half of season one concluding on Thursday, July 24th. If you haven't already, check out the official trailer above.

Tyler Perry Teases The Third 'Why Did I Get Married?' Movie With OG Cast
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Tyler Perry knows how to get his audience excited. On Wednesday, Perry posted a cover page of the 'table draft' that read Why Did I Get Married? on his Instagram, with the caption 'I'm just gonna sit this right here!' He even tagged the franchise's popular cast, including Janet Jackson, Sharon Leaf, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker, Richard T. Jones, Jill Scott, and Tasha Smith, essentially confirming that the band is back together again. Vibe reports that actor Richard T. Jones got fans excited over the idea of a third installment of the series during a flight when he hopped on TikTok in October 2024 to push a possible narrative for the movie. Jones joked during the video that his character could leave Sheila (played by Jill Scott), forcing her to drive to the mountain in an attempt to save her marriage. That video, Vibe notes, started a chain reaction where the Why Did I Get Married actors began posting their own videos, adding to the possible plot. That buzz may have been what's gotten us here. Because, as Variety reports, Perry had all but shut the franchise down in December of the same year. During an appearance on Sherri Shepherd's talk show, the director noted that he didn't think there would be a threequel. 'I don't think so,' Perry said, adding, 'I want to, but it's a lot of logistics to try to get it together, so hopefully we can pull it together, but we'll see … Everybody's got things going on, so timing would have to fall in place and then everything else would have to fall in place.' Well, it looks like the stars have aligned, as even actress Tasha Smith got excited over the news. Smith, who plays Trina in the series, posted, 'Who thinks Trina needs a comeback?!?!' to her IG. Smith commented, 'Are we going to be TOGETHER AGAIN,' and later reposted the photo with the caption: 'BOOM.' See social media's response to the news of a third installment in the franchise below. .
