BET Networks and Tyler Perry Studios announced a new original drama, The Oval, the first series under Perry’s exclusive, multi-year content partnership deal with Viacom will begin principal photography this summer at Tyler Perry Studios.

Starring Ed Quinn, Kron Moore, Paige Hurd and Daniel Croix Henderson, The Oval, will introduce viewers to the new first family moving into the White House. This picture-perfect couple has it all! Money, status, and pure bliss flank the Mr. & Mrs. However, behind closed doors, they are anything but flawless. With lies, cheating and messy mayhem running amuck, in the new scripted series, we see next level corruption up close and way too personal, directly from the White House.

With over 75 hours of new original content slated to premiere on BET over the next year, Perry’s future line-up will also include another drama series, two comedy series, and a live holiday-themed production.

The Oval is written, directed and executive produced by Tyler Perry. Michelle Sneed will also serve as Executive Producer of the series for Tyler Perry Studios.
