According to Netflix, Tis So Sweet will star Taraji P. Henson. The upcoming Netflix film Tis So Sweet, is described to be an inspiring true story produced through Tyler Perry and DeVon Franklin’s faith-based partnership with the Netflix streaming platform. The film, which also features Joey Bada$$, marks the second collaboration between Perry and Franklin under their Netflix deal. Tyler Perry has quite a few movies filming in and around the Atlanta area this year.

For more on that story, see the USA Today piece. The story first captured national attention when it went viral in November 2024…so, now that story will be coming to Netflix as a feature film, probably next year, 2026.
