ATLANTA — As media mogul Tyler Perry moves ahead with plans to reopen his massive studio space in Georgia, he’s also unveiled the first look of his latest collaboration with BET+.

Tyler Perry’s Bruh' is executive produced, written, and directed by Perry. Michelle Sneed also serves as Executive Producer of the series for Tyler Perry Studios.

In an announcement sent to 11Alive, a rep for BET says  the show “depicts a healthy image of black brotherhood; embracing vulnerability without playing on stereotypical hypermasculinity.”

Additional cast includes Chandra Currelley as Alice Watts (John’s mother), Candice Renée as Regina (the ex-girlfriend that Bill wants back), and Alyssa Goss as Pamela (a casual girlfriend of Mike).
