BET Networks and Tyler Perry Studios are teaming up for a new original drama, “The Oval.” “Oval” is the first series under Perry’s exclusive, multi-year content partnership deal with Viacom will begin principal photography this summer at Tyler Perry Studios.
The series stars Ed Quinn, Kron Moore, Paige Hurd, and Daniel Croix Henderson, and will introduce viewers to the new first family moving into the White House. This picture-perfect couple has it all! Money, status, and pure bliss flank the Mr. & Mrs. However, behind closed doors, they are anything but flawless. With lies, cheating and messy mayhem running amuck, in the new scripted series, we see next level corruption up close and way too personal, directly from the White House. Please believe, you could not write this… but Tyler did!
Perry’s future line-up will also include another drama series, two comedy series, and a live holiday-themed production to air exclusively on BET.

ED QUINN will play HUNTER FRANKLIN
