Tyler Perry’s fledgling comedy ‘House of Payne’ will come to an end this year. According to Perry, breaking the news Tuesday, the series has taught him a lot about television.

“Working on House of Payne taught me a lot about what it takes to make a successful television series,” Perry said Tuesday, citing a new series slated to begin production this summer.

Over the years ‘Payne’ has garnered consistent recognition from viewers and organizations such as the NAACP. In the show’s five year history, it garnered over ten NAACP Image Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for actor Lance Gross and Outstanding Actress In a Comedy Series for Cassi Davis (‘Madea’s Big Happy Family’).
