The prolific writer/director/actor has signed his latest deal with the Turner-owned network for "For Better or Worse," a dramedy series based on his "Why Did I Get Married?" film franchise.
Michael Jai White ("The Dark Knight") and Tasha Smith ("Couples Retreat") are set to reprise their big-screen roles as television anchor Marcus and salon owner Angela.
Like Perry's past TBS projects, "House of Payne" and "Meet the Browns," the young adult-focused series will roll out with 10 episodes. If the latter reaches a certain ratings threshold during its initial run, the network will order 90 more.
Production will begin this summer, just as Perry wraps production on "Payne" after a staggering 222 episodes (i.e., about 35 more than "Seinfeld").
