🎬 Tyler Perry’s ‘Miss Governor‘ Is Back — And Antoinette Dunkerson Means Business
Netflix just dropped the official trailer for Tyler Perry’s “Miss Governor” Part 2, and let’s just say — the gloves are off and the power heels are on.

If you thought Lieutenant Governor Antoinette Dunkerson was bold in Part 1, wait until you see her now.
Star Terri J. Vaughn gave us a sneak peek at Essence Festival, and the series is officially stepping into its next chapter with a brand-new title and an even bolder lead.
📺 Release Date & Streaming Details
- Part 2 Premiere Date: August 14, 2025
- Where to Watch: Netflix
- Episodes: 16 total (split between Part 1 & Part 2)
👀 What’s ‘Miss Governor’ All About?
“Miss Governor” marks Tyler Perry’s first-ever Netflix comedy series and his second project under his exclusive creative partnership with the streamer.
Part 1 introduced viewers to Antoinette Dunkerson — a smart, passionate politician who wins the race for Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi, only to realize the political games are just beginning.
In Part 2, she’s tired of the gaslighting, done with being overlooked, and ready to shake the statehouse from the inside out.
🗳️ What To Expect In Part 2
Part 1 ended with Antoinette finally standing her ground.
She publicly clashed with Governor Irwin Harper over a controversial pipeline, made moves to build her own team, and dropped the mic at a press conference.
But it’s the last scene — a showdown with the Governor followed by a sudden call for an ambulance — that left everyone’s jaws on the floor.
Let’s just say… “Miss Governor” is about to bring the smoke.

So they made the whole world just sing and come to life for me.
📈 Tyler Perry + Netflix = Streaming Gold
