Here's Who Stars In Tyler Perry's 'Bruh'

Season 3 of Tyler Perry’s BET+ show, Bruh, recently premiered on the network. Bruh is one of the many shows that director, producer, and scriptwriter Tyler Perry makes for BET+. It debuted on the network in May 2020 and is now on its third run.

The show follows the lives of a group of 30-something Black men as they explore the world of dating, careers, and friendship. If you’re familiar with Tyler Perry’s Sistas, Bruh is set in the same universe—some of the characters even cross over.
