Miss Governor is an American satirical series on Netflix, crafted by Tyler Perry. Perry is well-versed with Netflix, having directed other projects like On the Edge and War Messengers, which are also available on the platform.
This time, Perry moves away from dramatic features to a sitcom format, employing humor to tackle significant societal issues such as racism and sexism in politics, particularly in the Southern United States where the African American community often faces hostility.
Netflix has decided to release the 16 episodes of Miss Governor in two parts for its subscribers. The first eight episodes have been streaming since May 22, 2025, and the latter half has been available since August 14, 2025.

As the first African American woman in this role, she aims to fulfill her duties excellently.
