Congrats to Tyler Perry and TLC! The television and film mogul is teaming up with the network for a new scripted series titled, “Too Close to Home.”
According to the show’s press release, the eight-part drama tells the story of a young woman who escaped her working class upbringing to discover unparalleled success in the fast-paced D.C. political circuit.
“Too Close to Home” will star Danielle Savre as the lead, Anna while Heather Locklear and Matt Battaglia join the cast as guest stars. Rounding out the other leads are Brock O’Hurn, Kelly Sullivan, Brad Benedict and Brooke Anne Smith.
“We are thrilled with this dynamic cast for our first ever scripted project on TLC,” said Nancy Daniels, President and General Manager, TLC. “Tyler Perry has proven time and time again that his characters are at the crux of great storytelling. Too Close to Home is yet another example of that, and we know our viewers will be enthralled with how this story unfolds.”
Shooting for “Too Close to Home” began this week in Atlanta at the new Tyler Perry Studios lot on the former Fort McPherson army base. The show is written, directed and produced by Perry and is slated to premiere later on this summer.
