Meagan Good & Cory Hardrict Talk Tyler Perry’s Divorce In The Black Ahead of Prime Video Release

Tyler Perry’s Divorce In The Black is set to hit Prime Video on July 11, bringing a new, gripping exploration of heartbreak, destiny, and resilience led by Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict. Written, directed, and produced by Perry himself, this emotional drama promises a mix of shocking revelations and layered performances that continue Perry’s tradition of centering Black stories with authenticity and depth.

In Divorce In The Black, Meagan Good plays Ava, a young bank professional whose world shatters when her husband Dallas (played by Cory Hardrict) suddenly abandons their marriage. Determined to fight for the love she believes in, Ava’s journey takes a dramatic turn as fate intervenes, unearthing Dallas’ dark secrets that not only destroyed their marriage but once sabotaged Ava’s true path toward love and her destined soulmate.

During an interview with Blackfilmandtv.com’s Wilson Morales, Good and Hardrict shared insights into their collaboration with Tyler Perry and the film’s raw emotional core. For Good, the project marks a meaningful reunion with Debbi Morgan, over 20 years after they played mother and daughter in Kasi Lemmons’ beloved Eve’s Bayou. Good reflected on the full-circle moment, noting, “Working with Debbi again felt like a divine alignment. There’s an energy she brings that makes you feel seen, and that’s exactly what this film needed.”

Good’s career continues to flourish, with leading roles in Harlem, which was recently renewed for its third season, and a range of projects including Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Day Shift, and Buying Back My Daughter. Notably, she also serves as a producer on Divorce In The Black, further expanding her footprint behind the camera.

Meanwhile, Cory Hardrict brings layered intensity to Dallas, a man whose hidden actions drive the emotional engine of the film. Known for his role as Coach Marcus Turner in All American: Homecoming, which is currently airing its third and final season, Hardrict’s versatility has been evident across projects like The Chi, The Outpost, American Sniper, and Spectral. In discussing his role, Hardrict shared, “Dallas isn’t just a villain; he’s a man who made choices rooted in pain and fear. Tyler Perry allowed us to explore those nuances to show why people do what they do.”

Produced under Tyler Perry Studios with Angi Bones, Will Areu, and Dianne Ashford alongside Perry, Divorce In The Black is set to offer viewers an intense yet hopeful journey about healing and rediscovering oneself after betrayal. As Ava’s painful truth unfolds, the film explores the cost of denial, the courage to walk away, and the hope that even the deepest wounds can lead to new beginnings.
