BET's long-running hit comedies by the acclaimed Tyler Perry are moving to a new night this spring!
Set your calendars because you'll be getting twice the laughs and double the family-friendly fun when Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Tyler Perry's Assisted Living move Wednesdays starting at 9/8c on BET and BET Her.
Yes, that's a new night and a new time.
Kicking things off at 9/8c will be House of Payne, which is heading into its eleventh season. It's no small feat or achievement for any series, let alone a comedy.
The synopsis for House of Payne's upcoming season reads:
The hit comedy features retired fire chief Curtis Payne and his charming wife Ella, as the loving couple navigates the problems of life with their quirky modern-day family.
In the new season, the Payne family welcomes its newest member, Baby Malisa. Malik Payne, the young man we watched grow up, becomes a father. CJ and Janine become grandparents, although CJ hilariously will not let anyone call him grandfather.
With the arrival of a beautiful new baby, Malik and Lisa begin to change.
House of Payne stars: LaVan Davis, Cassi Davis Patton, Allen Payne, Our Kind of People's Lance Gross, Larramie “Doc” Shaw, and the iconic Keshia Knight Pulliam.
Ahmarie Holmes, Quin Walters, Cheryl Pepsi Riley, Clayton English, and Quincy Bonds will join the season as recurring characters.
The season premiere is titled, "What's in a Payne Name," and will likely focus on the arrival of sweet baby Malisa. It teases that tensions will run high when Lisa and Malik return home with the baby.
In the meantime, Janine's plane status is one big question mark, as everyone remains in the dark. Newbie dad Malike will battle some stress and a case of indecision about something.
