Netflix has unveiled a trailer for Tyler Perry‘s original wartime drama “The Six Triple Eight,” starring Kerry Washington.

According to the official logline, “‘The Six Triple Eight’ is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.”

Washington plays Major Charity Adams, who, in the trailer, commands a battalion of women soldiers and gives them some stern words of encouragement before starting their training. “I am giving you my best, and you will give me yours. A lot of people do not want us to succeed. We have the most to prove,” she barks. “Welcome to the Women’s Army Corp.”

Other cast members include Oprah Winfrey, Susan Sarandon, Ebony Obsidian, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston, 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 and Scott Daniel Johnson.

Perry adapted the screenplay from the article “Fighting A Two-Front War” by Kevin M. Hymel. Executive producers include Washington and Peter Guber. Perry, Nicole Avant, Angi Bones, Tony L. Strickland, Keri Selig and Carlota Espinosa serve as producers.

“The Six Triple Eight” marks Perry’s third feature release as director in 2024. In February, he debuted “Mea Culpa” starring Kelly Rowland, following it up with “Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black” starring Meagan Good in July.

“The Six Triple Eight” will begin a limited theatrical run on Dec. 6 before premiering on Netflix Dec. 20. Check out the trailer below.

More than a year into the crackdown on San Francisco’s illegal drug markets, users in the Tenderloin say they’re still scoring hard drugs on Market Street between Sixth and Seventh, though it’s not quite as easy.

Locals say there have been minimal improvements in the past year at the problem-plagued intersections, which continue to draw crowds. Yet police have hailed the crackdown as a success, pointing to numbers of arrests and kilos of drugs seized.

According to SFPD data, police seized 242.2 kilograms of illegal narcotics, including 110.6 kilograms of fentanyl and 58.6 kilograms of methamphetamine, between May 29, 2023, and Aug. 14, 2024. They arrested 1,224 dealers and 1,526 drug users during that period.

Of the 2,636 people booked into jail as of July 31 as part of the crackdown, only 14 were interested in treatment, a San Francisco Sheriff’s Department spokesperson said.
