Ruth & Boaz (2025) is a contemporary, faith-based romantic drama produced by Tyler Perry and DeVon Franklin, directed by Alanna Brown, and set to premiere globally on Netflix on September 26, 2025. The series reimagines the timeless biblical love story in a modern setting, following Ruth Moably (played by Serayah McNeill), a rising hip-hop artist from Atlanta who steps away from her music career after a personal tragedy. She moves to rural Tennessee to care for her late boyfriend’s mother, Naomi (portrayed by Phylicia Rashad). There, Ruth crosses paths with vineyard owner Bo “Boaz” Astra (played by Tyler Lepley), and their unlikely connection blossoms into a redemptive romance rooted in faith, resilience, and healing.
The series features a powerful ensemble cast with Serayah McNeill, Tyler Lepley, and Phylicia Rashad in pivotal roles, along with special appearances from music legends Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, Lecrae, and Yung Joc. With its emotional storytelling, rich Southern backdrop, and themes of second chances, Ruth & Boaz delivers an inspiring narrative that resonates with both faith-driven and mainstream audiences. This Netflix original promises to bring a soulful and empowering reimagining of a classic love story for today’s generation.
