If you thought you needed more Madea in your life, Lionsgate has just come to the rescue. The studio has just announced that Tyler Perry's Boo2: A Madea Halloween is hitting theaters in just a few short months.

This will mark the ninth movie in the Madea franchise - which stars creator Tyler Perry as the title character - but it's only the second in the Halloween series.

Boo!: A Madea Halloween was released last October, taking the character on a spooky holiday adventure. The sequel will follow the same structure, and has been given a similar release date, as it's set to bow on October 20.

The studio also released a this logline for the film: "Madea, Bam, and Hattie venture to a haunted campground and the group must literally run for their lives when monsters, goblins, and the bogeyman are unleashed."

It's not much of a surprise that another Madea movie is on the way, considering the success of the franchise as a whole. The first Madea Halloween film made $73 million domestically, which is quite the haul for a low-budget comedy.

Tyler Perry will wear multiple hats, as usual. He's directing the film, on a script he's written, portraying the fan-favorite character once again. Cassi Davis and Patrice Lovely are also set to star.
