Tyler Perry to Join OWN

Tyler Perry will be creating two original scripted series for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). They will debut in 2013. Perry already has three television shows on TBS: House of Payne, Meet the Browns, and For Better or Worse. 

The exclusive deal with OWN means that there will be no Tyler TV, the name of the cable network he had been shopping around to companies. 

Although OWN has struggled since its start at the beginning of 2011, the ratings have improved in recent months.

SBW wonders if Perry will be dressing in drag for both series because there is enough mammification in his other projects. No need to contaminate OWN too.
