Tyler Perry lands in Lyon the week of the city's major film and TV production forum

Tyler Perry flew from Barcelona to Lyon on June 8, a 74-minute hop aboard his Embraer E-190, N378TP. The flight departed El Prat at 12:12 p.m. local time and touched down at Saint-Exupéry just after 1:27 p.m., according to flight tracking data.

Perry arrived the same week Lyon hosts the 2026 Series Mania forum, a major European television market and festival that draws studio executives, producers, and streaming platforms from across the continent. Series Mania, which runs through June 12, is a key venue for international co-production deals and content licensing — a natural fit for Perry, whose Tyler Perry Studios has produced series for Netflix, Amazon, and BET Plus. The event's schedule includes panels on global distribution and a focus on African American and diaspora storytelling, per the forum's published program.

The trip continues a pattern of European travel for Perry this month. His aircraft flew from Newfoundland to the Azores on June 6, then to Barcelona on June 7, before the final leg to Lyon. Perry's studio in Atlanta remains the largest film production campus owned by a Black American, and his business interests increasingly extend into international markets, as noted by [billionaires.africa](https://www.billionaires.africa/2026/06/04/billionaire-tyler-perry-owns-1-500-acres-of-georgia-and-a-private-island-worth-150-million/).
