'Divorced Sistas' Breaks BET+ Record

Coming Out Strong: Tyler Perry’s ‘Divorced Sistas’ Becomes The Most Watched Original Series In BET+ History

Flowers are due today (July 2nd), as BET+ announced some exciting news about its newest show Tyler Perry’s Divorced Sistas. Performance data shows that just halfway through the eight-episode season, existing subscribers and new fans of the show have boosted the drama series to the most-watched series premiere on BET+ in just three weeks.

Divorced Sistas follows five friends – Rasheda (LeToya Luckett), Geneva (Khadeen Indréa), Naomi (Porscha Coleman), Tiffany (Briana Price), and Bridgette (Jennifer Sears) – all battling life and relationship woes at some stage of divorce, marriage, and dating…but it’s the battle within their circle that tests their true character and love for one another.

To maximize awareness of the new series, the network gave linear audiences a special sneak peek of the first episode directly after the BET Awards 2025 broadcast (Monday, June 9th), with the second episode dropping on BET+ on Thursday, June 12th. Considering the numbers, the strategy obviously worked. There are several key statistical highlights that support that claim.

The Divorced Sistas season premiere marked the most-watched premiere of any BET+ series since the service launched in September 2019. Since the premiere, the series has driven 415,000 new subscription starts. That’s 178& more than any season one original series across third-party platforms* and BET+, ranking as the third most successful series launch in platform history. Furthermore, on social, the series has accumulated 46.8 million video views and 23.4 million minutes watched across BET’s social channels.

Congrats to Tyler Perry, the cast and everyone involved with the series’ early success. New episodes of Divorced Sistas, which is created, written, and directed by Tyler Perry (who also serves as an executive producer) drop weekly on BET+, with the first half of season one concluding on Thursday, July 24th.
