Tyler Perry Teams with Blumhouse for New Thriller, Sets Streaming Release

Tyler Perry partners with Blumhouse Productions for a new thriller heading to streaming this year.

A new collaboration between Tyler Perry and Blumhouse Productions is officially moving forward, with a release window and streaming platform now confirmed.

The upcoming psychological thriller, titled Strung, brings Perry into the horror space alongside Blumhouse, a studio known for blending low-budget efficiency with high-concept storytelling. The film is produced through Perry’s Peachtree & Vine banner in partnership with Blumhouse, continuing the company’s expansion into cross-genre collaborations.

While full plot details remain limited, Strung is positioned as a character-driven thriller, aligning with Blumhouse’s approach of focusing on contained, high-tension narratives. The project also reflects Perry’s continued evolution as a filmmaker, stepping further into darker, more genre-focused material.

The film is set to debut on the streaming platform Peacock in June, marking another direct-to-streaming release strategy for Blumhouse as the company continues to balance theatrical and digital distribution.

This collaboration adds to Blumhouse’s growing 2026 slate, which includes a mix of franchise expansions, original horror titles and new creative partnerships across film and interactive media. For Perry, the project represents a continued push beyond his traditional storytelling space, tapping into psychological and suspense-driven territory.

As studios continue to explore hybrid distribution models, Strung positions itself at the intersection of recognizable talent and genre experimentation—an approach that has become increasingly common in the current horror landscape.
