Written, directed and produced by Tyler Perry, “The Paynes” meets back up with Curtis and Ella Payne (stars LaVan Davis and Cassi Davis reprising their roles) who are trying to enjoy their retirement in Florida only to get roped into a real estate deal that will tumble their lives like clothes in a dryer. The comedy has begun production at the new Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta and will premiere on OWN in 2018.

As previously reported, Perry’s popular comedy series “Love Thy Neighbor” and “For Better or Worse,” will not return after their final season in March (for “Love Thy Neighbor”) and June (for “For Better or Worse”).
