Everything must come to an end one day, and that includes the life of filmmaker Tyler Perry's long-running character, Madea.
Perry is more than ready to say goodbye to Madea, who has been a prominent character in more than a dozen of Perry's films and plays. In a recent interview with SiriusXM, the entertainment mogul revealed that he's been preparing for this moment for years. E! Online reports that he actually shot her farewell film, A Madea Family Funeral, two years ago. It's set for release in 2019.
