For fans of the ‘Why Did I Get Married?‘ franchise, Wednesday (October 1) proved to be their lucky day, when it was revealed that the previously teased ‘Why Did I Get Married Again?’ sequel is officially happening and in production.
Photos of the cast surfaced online on set, followed by official details regarding the film and confirmation that the third installment to the series will welcome Taraji P. Henson to the already star-studded cast.
Henson will star in the film, alongside returning players Tasha Smith, Sharon Leal, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker, and Jill Scott. The new movie marks her fifth collaboration with Perry.
The logline for “Why Did I Get Married Again?” is as follows: “The couples reunite in celebration as Marcus (White) and Angela’s (Smith) daughter prepares to tie the knot. After being apart for quite some time, they learn quickly that as much as things change, they stay the same. Realizing their children have grown up to be so much like them, they must reflect on the examples they’ve set and ask themselves that age-old question, why did they get married… again?”
Armani Greer, Everett Osborne, Da’Vinchi, Laya Deleon Hayes, Jaden Michael, Charles L. Smith, Derrick A. King and Sydney Winbush round out the cast. The project is currently filming on location in Italy.
