Netflix has offered an inside look at Tyler Perry’s latest film, “The Six Triple Eight,” with the release of a new official film poster as well as a new teaser trailer ahead of the film’s streaming premiere on December 20th. 

“The Six Triple Eight” is an epic drama that tells the true story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion: the only predominantly Black, all-female battalion during World War II. The film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, the battalion’s commanding officer, and Ebony Obsidian as officer Lena King.

Perry wrote and directed the project, which proved a natural fit. “The Six Triple Eight poured out of me from the time I started writing the first sentence,” he told Netflix. Perry also produced the project alongside Nicole Avant, Angi Bones, Tony L. Strickland, Keri Selig, and Carlota Espinosa. This film marks the latest release from Perry in collaboration with Netflix. Last year, Perry struck a multi-year first-look deal with the streamer, for which he will write, direct, and produce features.

“The Six Triple Eight” opens in select theaters on December 6th, and will be available to stream globally on Netflix on December 20th. Watch Netflix’s new teaser trailer below.
