Eight new Tyler Perry films are on the horizon as the media entrepreneur and filmmaker has struck a deal with Netflix.

The deal involves Perry writing, directing and producing eight new movies for the streaming service, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It comes a year after the mogul made a deal with Amazon to write, direct and produce four feature films, including a movie about a woman whose husband is killed by police called “Black, White & Blue” and a film that details the story of a banking professional named Ava whose husband Dallas leaves her called “Divorce in the Black.”

No further details about the plots of the films that the Primetime Emmy Award-winning filmmaker will create are available at this time, Indie Wire reported.

The upcoming movie “Six Triple Eight” is based on “the true story of the only all-Black, all-female World War II battalion that proved key to the American war effort,” per The Hollywood Reporter. The cast for the movie includes Kerry Washington, Oprah Winfrey, Sam Waterson, Susan Sarandon, Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson and Jay Reeves.

Perry also has another movie coming out with with Netflix soon called “Mea Culpa,” Deadline reported. The film stars Kelly Rowland and Trevante Rhodes and is about “a criminal defense attorney who takes on the case of an artist who may or may not have murdered his girlfriend.”

Both “Six Triple Eight” and “Mea Culpa” are in post-production, according to IMDb.
