Divorce in the Black (marketed as Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black) is a 2024 American thriller-drama film directed by Tyler Perry and released on Amazon Prime Video. It stars Meagan Good as Ava, a young bank professional whose seemingly perfect marriage unravels when her husband abruptly leaves without explanation.
The film is a part of Tyler Perry's multi-picture deal with Amazon Studios, following previous collaborations with Netflix movies such as “A Jazzman’s Blues,” “A Madea Homecoming” and “A Fall from Grace”.
Principal photography began in 2023, and the film was officially announced by Amazon MGM Studios in early 2024. It attracted attention online due to its ensemble cast and Tyler Perry's return to dramatic filmmaking outside of his Madea franchise. The cast also includes Cory Hardrict, Joseph Lee Anderson, Taylor Polidore, Shannon Wallace, Richard Lawson, and Debbi Morgan.
Divorce in the Black was released on July 11, 2024, and received negative reviews from critics.
