Tyler Perry has come a long way from simply being a playwright. Over the past two decades, he's solidified himself as a major power player in the film industry and, through his successful business, Tyler Perry Studios, he’s produced work for cinemas and for multiple streaming services. The multihyphenate's latest venture is a 2025 Netflix movie, "Straw," which hit No. 1 on the platform over the weekend. With that, Perry took to social media to reach out to his fans.
"Straw" stars Taraji. P Henson, and the film marks her fourth collaboration with Tyler Perry. The film centers on a single mother struggling to take care of her ill daughter. The psychological crime drama is clearly attracting viewers, as it's still the No. 1 movie on Netflix in the U.S., as of this writing. Its award-winning director made sure to thank his adoring fans by way of an Instagram post.
