Tyler Perry‘s Why Did I Get Married? returns with a new generation of complex relationships. A trailer was released for the third installment, introducing new characters to the 16-year-old franchise.
The synopsis reads, “In Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married Again?,” the couples reunite in celebration as Marcus and Angela’s daughter prepares to tie the knot. After being apart for quite some time, they learn quickly that as much as things change, they stay the same. Realizing their children have grown up to be so much like them, they must reflect on the examples they’ve set and ask themselves that age-old question, why did they get married… again?”

What happens in the trailer for Why Did I Get Married Again?
The Why Did I Get Married Again? trailer opens with a toast from the children to their parents, calling them “the best examples” they could ever have. It is a ceremonious event as Marcus and Angela’s daughter is preparing to get married, bringing back the franchise’s central couples.
However, this reunion also stirs familiar relationship tensions. As the synopsis suggests, the new movie focuses primarily on the younger generation and their relationships, while the parents reflect on their own relationships and friendships, questioning whether they really are the best examples their children think they are.
