About “The Oval” Creator Tyler PerryBorn in New Orleans, Louisiana, Tyler Perry didn’t have an easy start in life, but he worked hard to follow his dreams. He began his career in entertainment as a playwright. He felt inspired to begin writing after watching an episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Perry thought writing might be a therapeutic way to work through his troubles with depression brought on by the trauma of his childhood. His first play was a flop, but his subsequent works went on to build a large base of theatergoers – first in Atlanta and then around the country on the urban city circuit. As the success of his stage productions grew, Perry invested his earnings into the film industry. His first movie, “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” wasn’t well-received by critics but grossed $50.6 million – and as they say, the rest is history. Tyler Perry is now known as a man of many talents as he’s found fame and fortune as a writer, director, producer, and actor. He has a unique style of his own that not everyone appreciates, but he still manages to find success among millions of viewers. Tyler Perry is the creator of the hit political drama “The Oval” and its spin-off show, “Ruthless.” He’s also the sole executive producer, writer, and director for both TV series in addition to his other popular BET show, “Sistas.” Perry’s TV series are usually filmed at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, on the historic grounds of the former Fort McPherson army base. Perry has been honored with 51 nominations from an array of organizations and has earned 17 awards. His most recent win was at the 2021 Academy Awards, where he received an Oscar for the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. He was also the winner of the 2020 Governor’s Award at the Primetime Emmy Awards for his “unprecedented achievements in television and his commitment to offering opportunities to marginalized communities through personal and The Perry Foundation programs of inclusion, engagement, employment, and other philanthropic initiatives.” Where Can You Watch “The Oval?”Season one of “The Oval” premiered on BET on October 23, 2019, and includes 25 one-hour episodes.

All three seasons of “The Oval” are also available for streaming anytime on Amazon Prime Video, BET+, fubo, iTunes, Vudu, and Google Play. Will There Be a Season 4 of “The Oval?”You’re in luck if you’re a fan of Perry’s melodramatic political series.
