Madea is back in A Madea Homecoming, and the Netflix film is bringing along a cast of both new characters and familiar faces. With major names like Tyler Perry and Brendan O'Carroll gracing the screen, the latest installment in the Madea franchise is sure to guarantee some major laughs. Here is a complete cast and character guide for A Madea Homecoming.
As the latest addition to the Madea series, A Madea Homecoming follows the Simmons family as they all come together once again to celebrate Tim's college graduation. In typical Madea fashion, there are plenty of hijinks to be found when this family gets together. With a plethora of family secrets, romances, weed, and bullets flying around, this graduation celebration is far from the typical family party. As everything begins to fall apart, it's up to Madea to make sure Tim's celebration goes off as smoothly as possible.
A Madea Homecoming is the 12th installment in the Madea franchise and is produced, written, and directed by Tyler Perry. A Madea Homecoming came as a surprise after Perry's previous announcement that his previous movie, A Madea Family Funeral, was going to end the franchise. Perry announced the collaboration with Netflix back in June 2021.
Tyler Perry As Mabel "Madea" Simmons & Uncle Joe
Mabel "Madea" Simmons is the matriarch of the Madea franchise. Madea is a no-nonsense, vulgar, yet loving woman. When it comes to her opinion, Madea never holds back — even if it leads to a little bit of gunfire at the kitchen table. Madea runs the family alongside her brother, Uncle Joe, who is frequently blunt and inappropriate.
Both Madea and Uncle Joe are played by the iconic — and unrecognizable — Tyler Perry. Perry has made an incredible name for himself in film and TV history, serving as an actor, producer, and director. Besides the Madea franchise, Perry is known for his work on House of Payne, The Haves and the Have Nots, and most recently, Don't Look Up.
Brandon Black As Tim Marshall
Tim, Madea's great-grandson, is the reason for the family's reunion. With his college graduation, the family gathers to celebrate Tim being the valedictorian — and Tim is hoping to use the chance to tell his family his big secret with his best friend, Davi, in tow. Tim is played by Brandon Black, who is known for Dear White People and You're the Worst.
Isha Blaaker as Davi O'Malley
Davi O'Malley is Tim's best friend and roommate. As they both travel home to celebrate their graduation with the Simmons family, the secrets they're keeping threaten to unravel the entire affair. Unlike Madea and crew, Davi is a quiet and respectable man — until Tim's father comes around, that is. Davi is portrayed by Isha Blaaker, a Madea newcomer who has previously appeared in the series Red Riding Hoods and The Flight Attendant.
Gabrielle Dennis As Laura
Laura, Tim's mother and Madea's granddaughter, is just looking to celebrate her son's graduation after her divorce from her ex-husband, Richard. Of course, things don't go entirely as planned, as Richard's arrival starts a whirlwind of events. Laura is portrayed by Gabrielle Dennis, a new addition to the Madea franchise. Dennis has previously appeared in The Bobby Brown Story and Marvel's Luke Cage.
Brendan O'Carroll As Aunt Agnes Brown
After traveling from Ireland to surprise her grandson, Davi, at his graduation, Aunt Agnes is subjected to the hurricane that is Madea. Despite a bumpy start caused by cultural differences, Aunt Agnes quickly becomes another member of the family. Aunt Agnes is portrayed by Brendan O'Carroll, an actor who is known for playing Aunt Agnes in the Irish television series Mrs. Brown's Boys.
