Netflix has announced the cast and director for its upcoming faith-based film R&B, a modern retelling of the biblical story of Ruth and Boaz. The film is the first project under the streaming giant’s partnership with DeVon Franklin and Tyler Perry Studios.
Serayah McNeill (Empire), Tyler Lepley, and Phylicia Rashad will star in the film, which will be directed by Alanna Brown. Set in Tennessee, “R&B” is about a young woman who escapes the Atlanta music scene to care for an elderly widowed woman, and in the process finds the love of her life and gains the mother she never had.
The film’s script, written by Michael Elliot and Cory Tynan, is produced by Franklin and Perry. The cast also includes Walnette Santiago, Nijah Brenea, and musicians Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, and Lecrae Moore.
Franklin and Perry signed a multi-year deal with Netflix in May, focusing on faith-based content. This latest project builds on Perry’s creative relationship with Netflix, which began with a first-look film deal in 2023, and now includes both scripted and unscripted TV projects.
