Tyler Perry is adding another title to Netflix’s growing lineup of his films. Following the recent arrival of his sequel movie Why Did I Get Married Again? on the streaming service, another Perry production is already scheduled to make its debut. His upcoming film will differ in tone from his last one, however, with a more dramatically focused story.
Tyler Perry’s Doing Life arrives on Netflix next month
Tyler Perry’s Doing Life is set to arrive on Netflix next month, following the recent release of Why Did I Get Married Again? on the streaming platform, a sequel to his movies Why Did I Get Married? and Why Did I Get Married Too?
According to What’s on Netflix, Doing Life will arrive on Netflix on October 2, 2026. Perry wrote and directed the film in addition to producing with Angi Bones and Tony L. Strickland. The movie is an urban drama built around two people whose circumstances bring them together and change the direction of their lives.
Naomi Baker stars as Anika, a single mother struggling to provide for herself and her child, while Jay Reeves plays Carousel, a former inmate trying to rebuild his life after prison. Their relationship develops after an earlier encounter brings them into each other’s orbit, with both characters finding support and a possible new beginning through their connection.
The film’s trailer gives viewers a closer look at the circumstances that first connected the central characters. It opens with Anika at Holloway Correctional while she is pregnant. When a riot breaks out inside the facility, Carousel steps in and helps keep her and her baby out of harm’s way. Their story then moves forward to the period after Carousel leaves prison, when the pair reconnect.
Tamberla Perry, Karen Obilom, Jasmine Sargent, Lucky Johnson, and Danielle Moné Truitt also star in the film.
