Tyler Perry has another streaming hit.

Why Did I Get Married Again? climbed to No. 1 on Netflix’s English-language film list, drawing 9.7 million views worldwide during the Sept. 14–20 tracking week. The performance kept the movie in the top spot for a second consecutive week. Netflix

The film brings Perry back together with several familiar faces from the franchise, including Tasha Smith, Michael Jai White, Jill Scott, Sharon Leal and Lamman Rucker, while Taraji P. Henson joins the ensemble. The story centers on the destination wedding of Marcus and Angela’s daughter, where a reunion quickly turns into another round of relationship drama. Netflix

That may be the bigger story behind the numbers: Perry has once again turned familiarity, Black relationships and an established audience into major streaming attention. Netflix
