Last year, Tyler Perry opened up his studios at an old army barracks in Atlanta, and he never knew how helpful that was going to be a few months later.
When the coronavirus pandemic happened, production shut down all over the world. Everyone was trying to figure out how to get back to work, including Perry. Then he realized, he has all of these empty barracks on his lot that he can use to house the cast and crew for two weeks while they shot a season worth of episodes. Therefore, he opened his doors, and let them in.
The Hollywood mogul via Atlanta described the last two weeks as, “We did it! We just wrapped season 2 of Sistas in our quarantine bubble at the studio. We called it Camp Q. 360 people all living on the lot for two weeks. We tested for COVID every 4 days, and thank God we were able to all remain COVID free as the bubble held up. Now onto The Oval. Thanks for the prayers!! We can feel them. @tylerperrystudios #SistasOnBET #TheOvalOnBET”
I am beyond impressed with what he did. How can you not be?
It will be interesting to see if the other studios here in actual Hollywood will follow suit. I mean, Warner Bros could turn the Ranch into a Tyler Perry Studios. All I know is I want my TV shows back. At least I will have Perry’s to watch because he is getting it down.
