Sharon Leal, Tasha Smith, Taraji P. Henson, Jill Scott in 'Why Did I Get Married Again?' (Netflix)
Tyler Perry is continuing his Why Did I Get Married? franchise with Why Did I Get Married Again?, premiering Sept. 9 on Netflix.
The film reunites most of the original cast as a group of longtime friends who gather in Lake Como, Italy, for the wedding of Marcus and Angela's daughter. It's an experience that shows the group how much their children have grown to mirror them.
Speaking to People, Tyler said he is "most excited for audiences to see how these characters have matured and how their love for each other took them through some really hard times."
He added, "It's a wonderful reminder of how people grow, change, mature and settle into what marriage is and not what we think it is when we're young."
Returning cast members include Lamman Rucker, Sharon Leal, Jill Scott, Richard T. Jones, Tasha Smith and Michael Jai White.Taraji P. Henson joins the franchise as newcomer Roselyn, the groom's mother.
"This was one of those projects that I knew I had to say yes to, not just because of Tyler, but because of this entire cast," Taraji told People. "It's also not every day that you get to work with one of your best friends, so sharing scenes with my girl Tasha Smith was amazing. We almost had too much fun!"
Describing her character, she said, "She's actually been friends with the group for a long time. She's the fierce, powerful businesswoman who travels with the group to Lake Como to see her son get married ... and let's just say, may be traveling with some extra baggage of her own!"

Ashley Tisdale is turning her toxic mom drama into a toxic mom comedy.
The actress is producing and starring in Toxic Moms, a new half-hour comedy expected to air on Netflix. Deadline first reported the news, which Tisdale confirmed by sharing it to her Instagram.
Ali Wong and Sabrina Jalees are also producing the project, with Jalees writing and Wong potentially directing.
The series follows a new mom desperate to fit in with “a clique of cool, wealthy mothers,” according to Deadline.
Earlier this year, Tisdale wrote about her experience with a mom group gone sour in an essay for The Cut titled “Breaking Up with My Toxic Mom Group.” The essay went viral as people speculated on which celebrity moms Tisdale was writing about.
Based on past social media posts, fans believed the mom group included Meghan Trainor, Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff.

Influencer and cookbook author Nara Smith is opening up about her family's private health journey, revealing that her 2-year-old daughter, Whimsy Lou, was diagnosed with cancer late last year.
Smith, 24, shared the news in an Instagram video on Wednesday, saying she and her husband, model Lucky Blue Smith, 28, first sought medical attention after noticing "something suspicious" on their daughter.
"When we saw something suspicious on her, we took her to the ER, and they didn't quite know what to make of it," Smith said. "So when we took her into our pediatrician, I just remember him going really quiet and calm ... My heart dropped in that moment. I don't know whether it was my gut telling me something or just a mom's intuition, but the first thing that I felt was, 'She has cancer.'"
Smith said Whimsy later underwent X-rays, ultrasounds and a biopsy before doctors confirmed her cancer diagnosis.
"After a lot of X-rays, ultrasounds, and finally a biopsy, they immediately called us and said that she had cancer," she said. "[They] told us it had spread, and that she need[ed] to come and start chemo treatments immediately."
Smith did not disclose what type of cancer her daughter has or provide an update on Whimsy's current condition.
The social media creator said connecting with other parents and families facing similar experiences has helped ease the feeling of isolation she experienced following her daughter's diagnosis.
Smith also shared that balancing her daughter's treatment while caring for her children, recovering postpartum — her youngest child was born in September last year — and keeping up with work has been challenging.
In the video's caption, Smith expressed gratitude for the doctors and nurses who cared for her daughter, writing that she is "thankful for each and every nurse and doctor along our journey who helped us get through and out the other end."
Smith, who has more than 12.4 million followers on TikTok and 4.7 million on Instagram, is known for sharing cooking videos and family-focused lifestyle content.
Her debut cookbook, Homemade, is scheduled to be released in October.
ABC News has reached out to Smith's representative for comment.

Nearly two months after its premiere, Is God Is has earned a spot on Variety's list of the best movies of the year so far.
The film is the screen adaptation of director Aleshea Harris' play of the same name. Speaking to ABC Audio, Aleshea described the transition from a play to film as a "learning curve."
"I'm a theater person. I had barely been on a set. So I needed to understand the rules of writing for the screen, which are different. And I needed think about the tools that I had as a filmmaker that I didn't have on the stage that could work in my favor," she said. "So it was a lot about thinking about images differently, thinking about how much language was necessary."
The film stars Kara Young and Mallori Johnson as twin sisters Anaia and Racine, who set out on a revenge mission against their father after he tried to kill them and their mother in a fire, leaving them with severe burn scars. The cast also includes Janelle Monáe, Erika Alexander, Vivica A. Fox and Sterling K. Brown.
Aleshea said collaborating with them was her "favorite aspect of working on the movie."
"They were so kind and they believed in me and trusted me as a first-time filmmaker," she said. "There was also from them a protective energy. I could tell that they wanted me to win. They wanted the movie to win, and it was such a delight on set to get to work with them."
In its review, Variety praises Kara and Mallori for "holding their own against" against the supporting cast. It notes, "[T]hey’re the year’s most electric double act so far."
Of Aleshea, the publication adds that she "is conversant in the languages of both ruthless exploitation cinema and radical feminist theatre, with filmmaking brio to match. Whatever she makes next, here’s hoping more attention is paid."

Danny Glover has publicly revealed he is one of the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease.
The 79-year-old actor rose to prominence in Lethal Weapon movies in the 1980s. He opened up to NBC News and People about his condition, saying he was diagnosed in 2023 and since then, his speech, movements and memories have gradually declined.
Even though some time has passed since his diagnosis, Glover told People, "I'm still not accepting in my mind all parts of it."
"There are the moments that you keep remembering that validate the fact that you can remember stuff. And there are moments I'll never forget," he added.
ABC News has reached out to Glover's representative for comment.
Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia, is a brain disorder that affects thinking, memory, and one's behavior and abilities.
It's characterized by symptoms such as short-term memory loss, problem-solving challenges and difficulty with everyday tasks, all of which may start appearing by the age of 60, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The condition is progressive, with nerve cell damage in the brain increasing over time.
Researchers estimate nearly 7 million people in the U.S. live with Alzheimer's and the number of those impacted is expected to double by 2060.
Alzheimer's is now the sixth-leading cause of death in adults 65 and older and the seventh-leading cause of death of American adults, the CDC notes.
There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease but some medications and immunotherapies are available that may help slow down the progression of the condition, manage symptoms and improve quality of life for patients.

Disney has released the second teaser trailer for the third film in the Camp Rock franchise. It finds the Jonas Brothers returning as the brothers of the fictional band Connect 3, and will premiere to Disney Channel on Aug. 13 and Disney+ the next day.

Camp Rock 3 follows Connect 3 as they lose the opening act for their major reunion tour. The band returns to Camp Rock with the hope of discovering the next big thing.

New cast members in the third film include Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, newcomer Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, Brooklynn Pitts, Ava Jean and Sherry Cola.
The trailer shows Segura's Sage finding Mitchie Torres' old songbook covered in dust.

50 Cent has another television series in the works at Starz. He's teamed with the network for the television adaptation of Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf's supernatural graphic crime novel Bone Parish.
Set in the underworld of New Orleans, the series will follow the Winters family, who build a criminal empire around a new drug that allows users to experience vivid, haunting visions of the past. As demand for the product grows, the family becomes trapped in what a press release describes as "a violent and inescapable nightmare of crime, horror, and family legacy."
“I’ve always been drawn to stories that break the mold, and Bone Parish does exactly that," 50 said in a statement. "It takes crime, family, and power, and mixes it with something dark and supernatural, in a way that feels fresh. Exploring what happens when the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead, this story has incredible depth, and we’re building a series that’s going to keep audiences locked in from the first episode."
50 will executive produce through G-Unit Film & Television with Stephen Christy and Mette Norkjaer from BOOM! Studios, the publisher of the graphic novel, as well as co-showrunners Diane Ademu-John and Declan de Barra.
Bone Parish is the latest addition to 50 Cent's Starz shows, where Power Book III: Raising Kanan is currently airing. He also serves as executive producer on Fightland, which follows British-born boxer Duke Kilroy as he returns home from jail seeking revenge against the man he believes was responsible for his brother's death. The show is set to premiere on July 31.
Two more of his shows, Power: Legacy and Power: Origins, have also been greenlit.

It seems Luca Guadagnino's Artificial is being eyed to be released by Neon.
Neon is in talks to pick up the film after Amazon MGM Studios decided it would no longer release it, Neon has confirmed to ABC Audio.
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed to ABC Audio it would no longer release Artificial in a statement shared on June 19.
"We have the utmost respect and admiration for Luca Guadagnino as an award-winning filmmaker – not to mention a longstanding relationship that we hope to continue," an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement at the time. "We believe that Artificial will be better served if it were released by a different studio and are working closely with the filmmaking team to find the film a new home."
Artificial is described as a comedic drama about the world of artificial intelligence. It explores Sam Altman's OpenAI during a period in 2023 when Altman was fired and rehired in a matter of days. It is directed by Guadagnino from a script by Saturday Night Live alum Simon Rich.
The film's cast includes Mark Rylance, Andrew Garfield, Yura Borisov, Monica Barbaro, Billie Lourd, Jason Schwartzman, Cooper Koch, Cooper Hoffman and Ike Barinholtz.
It would have reunited Guadagnino and Amazon MGM Studios after he directed the 2024 film Challengers for the studio, as well as 2025's After the Hunt.

Dylan O'Brien may just make his return to the small screen.
The actor is set to lead the Hulu comedy pilot Lex, ABC Audio has confirmed. This would mark his first series role since he starred as Stiles on MTV’s Teen Wolf.
Lex follows the titular disgraced former reality star (O'Brien), who accidentally films a murder while making a $20 Cameo video. This finds Lex at the center of a global conspiracy and forces him to go on the run.
"Using the skills he acquired navigating reality TV’s toxic social dynamics, Lex must fight to not get killed, to expose the truth, and most importantly… to get back on TV," according to a description from the outlet.
In addition to starring in Lex, O'Brien will executive produce the pilot. He will do so alongside its writer, Sean Clements, as well as Paul Simms.

Attorneys for Blake Lively said in a court filing Monday that Justin Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer Studios, owes the actress $7,495,526.87 in attorneys fees connected to the studio's defamation lawsuit against her, which was dismissed in June last year.
According to court documents, which were filed in a federal district court in the Southern District of New York, Lively is also seeking $539,514.01 in costs and expenses incurred in relation to the dismissed defamation case.
The filing comes two weeks after U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman denied Lively's claim for punitive damages against Baldoni and Wayfarer but allowed the actress to seek attorneys' fees under California Civil Code Section 47.1, a law designed to protect anyone who reports sexual assault, harassment or discrimination from retaliatory defamation lawsuits.
Esra Hudson, one of Lively's lead attorneys in the case, wrote in Monday's court filing that fees for her work on the case were discounted from her standard rate of $1,430.00 per an hour to $1,161 to $1,287 per hour over the course of the litigation.
Co-lead trial counsel Michael Gottlieb charged an average hourly rate of $2,187, according to the filing.
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Baldoni for comment.
In a statement to ABC News on Tuesday, Lively's attorneys, Gottlieb and Hudson, said, "Thanks to this landmark decision, those considering using a lawsuit as a weapon of intimidation have been put on notice that there are consequences for doing so. The value of this ruling is in the precedent it creates, the accountability it imposes, and the protection it provides to those who may one day find themselves facing similar retaliation for speaking the truth."
Monday's filing is the latest in a long-running legal dispute between the former It Ends with Us co-stars, who first became embroiled in December 2024, when Lively filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of the film, which he also directed. Lively also accused Baldoni and his production company of attempting to orchestrate a smear campaign against her, allegations Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios have vehemently denied.
The two subsequently launched dueling lawsuits against one another in the months that followed, with Baldoni accusing Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, the couple's publicist Leslie Sloane, and others of extortion and defamation, among other things. The lawsuits were consolidated into one suit in January 2025.
Baldoni's lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by Liman in June 2025. The judge later gutted much of Lively's case against Baldoni in April of this year, including claims she was subjected to sexual harassment on set, determining that she could continue to pursue her claims of retaliation against Baldoni's public relations team.
Baldoni, via his Wayfarer production company, and Lively agreed to settle their ongoing dispute in May this year. Liman ruled at the time that Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios must pay Lively's attorneys' fees but denied Lively's claim for punitive damages.

Joe and Fran in Illumination's 'Not Alone,' directed by Eric Guillon, Claire Dodgson and Jonathan Del Val. (Illumination, Universal Pictures)
Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet — or at least their voices — co-star in the upcoming animated film Not Alone. On Tuesday Selena posted a trailer for the film on Instagram, so you can see what their characters look like.
As previously reported, Timothée plays an introverted rocket mechanic named Joe, who meets Selena's character, Fran, a "brilliant astro-botanist" who's created a rocket that runs on plant-based fuel. Things get complicated when three aliens plot to commandeer Fran's rocket to return to their home planet.
In the trailer, set to David Bowie's classic "A Space Oddity," Joe and Fran meet while working on the rocket and start a romance, which thrills them both — until the aliens, who all have British accents for some reason, show up.
This is the second time the two have co-starred in a film; the first time was in 2020's A Rainy Day in New York.
Not Alone arrives in theaters in April 2027. It's from the same studio that brought you the Despicable Me, Minions and Super Mario Brothers movies.
