New York, NY, October 29, 2020 - Today, BET+ announced the midseason return of "Tyler Perry's Ruthless," premiering Thursday, November 26, exclusively on BET+. As the season continues, many of the faithful followers have begun to uncover the evil that exists beneath the surface of the Rakudushis movement. Armed with this knowledge, Ruth and several new fearful cult members try to take control of their individual destinies.

Being aware of false prophets has never reigned more true. "Tyler Perry's Ruthless" stars Melissa L. Williams, Matt Cedeño, Lenny D.
