New trailer for Tyler Perry’s WWII drama The Six Triple Eight

October 13, 2024 by Amie Cranswick

Netflix has shared a new poster and trailer for writer-director Tyler Perry’s historical drama The Six Triple Eight.

Based on Kevin M. Hymel’s article “Fighting a Two-Front War”, the film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, an officer who, despite facing both racism and sexism, defies the odds and leads the first and only unit of colour to serve overseas in World War II. 

The film features a cast that includes Kerry Washington, Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, Jay Reeves, Jeffery Johnson, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Donna Biscoe, Gregg Sulkin, Scott Daniel Johnson, Susan Sarandon, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey. Watch the trailer below…

THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of colour to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and gruelling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honour and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers. Written and directed by Tyler Perry, the film stars Kerry Washington as Major Charity Adams, the commanding officer of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.

The Six Triple Eight arrives on Netflix on December 20th.
