Tyler Perry’s Ruthless stands out as one of the most engaging ever created for streaming in the United States. Its intense representation of cults, manipulation, and survival through the tortured journey of Ruth with members of the evil Rakudushi sect within their ranks is nothing short of amazing.

The audience has an insatiable appetite for Season 6 because they want to know the rest of the story, which will have shocking twists, power struggles, emotional betrayal, and spectacular escape attempts against the backdrop of an increasingly torturous cult, as revealed in the cliffhangers and revelations at the end of Season 5, set to air in 2025.

Will there be Ruthless Season 6? Renewed or canceled? Everything we know so far

Tyler Perry’s Ruthless is still in limbo and hasn’t been renewed or cancelled by BET+ (now becoming Paramount+) for season six as of March 14, 2026. There was no confirmation from BET+, Tyler Perry Studios, or Paramount, nor has there been any news from major news outlets such as Deadline or Variety in 2026.

Season five ended on a cliffhanger and unresolved storylines involving Ruth, The Highest, and the Cult, which has led to speculation among the fans. Additionally, Tyler Perry signed a multi-year deal in 2024 for additional seasons of Ruthless and other Tyler Perry shows that could last through 2028. As has been reported since March 2026, BET+ will be folding into Paramount+. Tyler Perry’s other upcoming house of Tyler Perry seasons (including Ruthless, potentially) will be moving to Paramount+, but again, there’s no mention of season six’s greenlight.

Based on discussions among fans and actors and some comments made by actor Lenny Thomas (possibly hinting that they might start filming again at the end of 2025) is feasible that a season six of Tyler Perry’s Ruthless may have already been filmed but is still to be confirmed, therefore there is no scheduled date of release for season six of Tyler Perry’s Ruthless. According to several sources, season six episodes are marked as TBA, and if the show is renewed soonseason six episodes could premiere sometime in mid to late 2026 due to the speed at which Tyler Perry typically films in Atlanta. However, because of the long delays after the fifth season of Tyler Perry’s Ruthless, there is speculation that the show has been cancelled; nevertheless, due to a high demand from the fans for a renewal and the unresolved storylines, and the strength of Tyler Perry’s partnership with BET+, a renewal of season six of Tyler Perry’s Ruthless seems likely.

Tyler Perry’s Ruthless season six is still in limbo; no renewal date, cast information, or storyline details have yet been officially released. For informational purposes, please check the BET+/Paramount+ channels or Tyler Perry’s.
