Tyler Perry and Netflix have formed a creative partnership that will have Perry write, direct, and produce feature films under a multi-year first-look deal.
Perry’s upcoming films with Netflix include Six Triple Eight starring an ensemble cast led by Kerry Washington about the inspiring true story of the the first and only Women’s Army Corp unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War 2, and Mea Culpa starring Kelly Rowland about a criminal defense attorney who takes on the case of an artist who may or may not have murdered his girlfriend.
Perry’s previous films with Netflix include A Jazzman’s Blues, a sweeping tale of forbidden love that made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, A Madea Homecoming, the 12th installment of the billion-dollar Madea franchise, and the thriller A Fall from Grace.
