Madea Family Tree From All 13 Movies Explained

For such a big franchise, it is no surprise that Tyler Perry’s Madea has created such a complex and seemingly never ending family tree for itself, but luckily, there is a method to the madness. In 2005, Tyler Perry wrote the very first Madea movie, entitled Diary of a Mad Black Woman. It tells the story of a young black woman who seeks refuge at her eccentric grandmother’s house after suffering from a bad break-up. Since then, the Madea cinematic universe has spawned twelve more movies, along with various plays, television series, and a book. In that time, Madea’s family tree has filled with countless cousins, nieces, and nephews.
