Madea's return to screens comes a few years after Perry shocked fans with news that the character will be retiring after a two-decade run. Madea first appeared in Perry's 2005 hit movie 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman'.

For a supposed final run, the dare-devil grandma appeared in 2019 'A Madea Family Funeral' followed by the sold-out 2020 'Madea’s Farewell Tour'.
