The newly announced film is one of a handful of projects the acclaimed filmmaker has created with the streamer.
In January 2023, Oprah Winfrey and Kerry Washington were named the stars of the pending film Six Triple Eight.

According to Netflix, Perry’s direction will also shine a light on the battalion’s efforts, allowing American soldiers to reconnect with their families back in the States.
Additionally, Perry released the first screenplay he ever wrote A Jazzman’s Blues on Netflix. The Good Deeds star also issued Fall From Grace and A Madea Homecoming through the platform. While this is Rowland’s first acting role in a film by Perry, she recently starred alongside Marlon Wayans and Priah Ferguson in Netflix’s The Curse Of Bridge Hollow.
