A new release this month on Netflix has been getting mixed reviews but it’s one we should all watch. That’s despite our rating the movie as one to miss when we gave you the three best new Netflix movies to watch (and two to skip) in December 2024. As a spoiler, the reason we used to skip The Six Triple Eight wasn’t that it’s not a good movie, it was more about the late December timing of the release.

The Six Triple Eight was released in selected cinemas in early December and became available on Netflix on Friday, December 20. It has a strong cast and relates an important story set in World War II. That's part of the reason why it should be a must-watch.

Before I explain more about why, let’s get back to that strong cast. You’ll see some top stars, including Oprah Winfrey,...

Netflix still has several holiday flicks on the way before 2024 ends and Christmas fades away. Richard Curtis’ book-based animated film That Christmas, directed by Simon Otto, arrives early on in the month, and Sabrina Carpenter has a musical holiday comedy special also out early in December.

A Christmas-set thriller Carry-On will be available starting Dec. 13, and Tyler Perry’s film The Six Triple Eight, which is based on real life events and figures, will be out Dec. 20.

Kerry Washington is stepping out for the premiere of her new Netflix movie!

The 47-year-old actress joined co-star Oprah Winfrey and director Tyler Perry at the premiere of The Six Triple Eight on Tuesday (December 3) held at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Fellow cast members in attendance included Ebony Obsidian, Gregg Sulkin, Moriah Brown, Jay Reeves, Pepi Sonuga, Sarah Jeffery, Shanice Shantay, Kylie Jefferson, and Milauna Jackson along with producer Nicole Avant.

The day before, Kerry received a very prestigious honor!

The new movie is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and grueling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers.

H.E.R. has released the music video for her Diane Warren-written song “The Journey” from the upcoming Netflix film The Six Triple Eight, about the only all-Black, all-female battalion in World War II.

The nearly four-and-a-half-minute music video, which The Hollywood Reporter is debuting exclusively, features H.E.R. performing the song in concert intercut with clips of the upcoming film.

Warren has been nominated for 15 best original song Oscars, but she has yet to win the award. No woman in Oscars history has received more noms in any category without winning. However, she has received an honorary Oscar.

H.E.R. won the best original song Oscar in 2021 for “Fight for You” from Judas and the Black Messiah and has won five Grammys.

The final chapter of Power Book II: Ghost was closed on October 4, 2024, with Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) gaining the upper hand on two of his most threatening enemies. Now that Monet Tejada (Mary J. Blige) is also out of the picture, Tariq has more freedom to begin life anew than ever, leading many fans of the hard-hitting Starz crime drama to wonder if he's been seen for the last time.

More importantly, with Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force still going strong, it's worth exploring how the events of the Ghost finale will inform the overarching Power universe moving forward. Raising Kanan Season 4 and Force Season 3 near their expected winter 2024 releases requires a clarifying recap to determine how the ambitious crime series will continue.

Kerry Washington as an army captain delivers a rousing speech to the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to battle overseas during the Second World War in the teaser trailer (below) for Netflix’s The Six Triple Eight from writer, director and producer Tyler Perry.

“This is our mission. And we will not fail,” Major Charity Adams (Washington) declares quayside as the 855 Black women and women of color of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion march forward at her command to board a ship taking them to battle.

Their mission was to sort through a three-year backlog of mail — 17 million letters in all — yet to be delivered to American soldiers overseas, to restore morale on the front lines.

The Netflix biopic is part of an effort to give the 6888th battalion belated recognition for their heroism as they overcame discrimination to complete their letter-posting duties well ahead of schedule.

Tyler Perry has formalized a new creative partnership with Netflix to write, direct and produce feature films under a multi-year, first-look deal.

Perry already has five films under his belt at the streamer: “A Fall From Grace,” “A Madea Homecoming,” the period drama “A Jazzman’s Blues”, the upcoming World War II-set drama “Six Triple Eight” and the thriller “Mea Culpa.”

WME CEO Ari Emanuel teased the new pact at Bloomberg Media’s Screentime conference on Oct. 11. During the talk, Emanuel revealed that he’d just closed deals at Netflix for David Ellison and Perry. Pressed about the partnership in his own Screentime conversation, Perry played coy.

“He talks too much,” Perry joked, noting that the deal hadn’t been announced yet. “I’ll wait for them to announce it. But yeah, Netflix has been an incredible partner to work with, and so is Amazon. It’s been really, really, really incredible,...

The third season premiere of Power Book II: Ghost drew the biggest opening weekend audience ever for a Starz series, the premium cable outlet says.

The show’s March 17 debut brought in 5.8 million viewers across all platforms over its first three days, according to Nielsen and internal data. That makes it the biggest premiere weekend ever for a Starz original series.

Though Starz didn’t break down viewers by platform, based on viewing patterns for other premium series, a large majority of the audience likely streamed the Ghost premiere. The show’s on-air premiere brought in 362,000 viewers, per Nielsen — just 6 percent of the three-day total. That’s in keeping with shows like HBO’s Euphoria, Showtime’s Yellowjackets, and Starz’s own P-Valley, whose initial, on-air viewership makes up just a small fraction of the total.

The 5.8 million viewers also includes multiple replays on the Starz cable channel over the weekend.

Season 3 of Power Book II: Ghost has smashed viewership records for Starz.

The premiere episode delivered 5.8M multi-platform viewers in its first three days after it debuted on March 17, which the network says is its biggest premiere weekend ever. That’s up quite significantly from the 362,000 viewers that tuned in to the episode’s initial live telecast.

Weekend multi-platform viewership for the Season 3 debut was also up about 30% from the Season 2 premiere in November 2021. Interestingly, the Season 2 premiere drew 518,000 for its live broadcast, which was on a Sunday. Season 2 averaged a little over half a million live viewers per episode.

Prior to the launch of Season 3, Starz signaled its confidence in the series with an early renewal for a fourth installment. Season 4 is currently in production in New York.

Season 3 took off in dramatic form with brand new twists, turns, and murder as Tariq, Brayden, and the Tejada family are grieving the death of Zeke,...
