Miss Governor – Tyler Perry Comedy · Netflix
Now streaming on Netflix, Miss Governor (also known as She the People) is a fresh, witty, and heartfelt comedy created by Tyler Perry and Niya Palmer, produced by Tyler Perry Studios. At its core, the series follows a woman making history—while also trying to survive the delightful chaos of her personal life.
The story centers on Antoinette Dunkerson (played by Terri J. Vaughn), who has just been sworn in as Mississippi’s first Black lieutenant governor. With the weight of history on her shoulders and the eyes of the state fixed on her every move, Antoinette is determined to make a real difference in public office. But politics isn’t her only battlefield—she also has a boss stuck in outdated ways, an opinionated and unpredictable family, and the daily juggle of keeping her sanity intact.
Her world is a vibrant mix of political maneuvering and personal misadventures, and each episode delivers sharp humor alongside moments of heart. Whether she’s clashing with her boss over progressive ideas, managing her outspoken relatives, or trying to navigate the unique demands of her role, Antoinette’s journey is as relatable as it is groundbreaking.
