Tyler
Perry’s
multiyear
partnership
with
Netflix
pushes
on.
The
streaming
giant
dropped
the
first
trailer
for
his
new
steamy
thriller,
Mea
Culpa.
Kelly
Rowland
and
Trevante
Rhodes
will
heat
up
our
television
screens
when
the
Tyler
Perry-written
and
directed
film
arrives
on
Netflix
on
Feb.

2024.
In
the
film,

Harper,
who
confidently

the
case
to
defend
Trevante
Rhodes’
Zyair
Malloy,
an
artist
who
has
been
accused
of
murdering
his

The

charming
Zyair
seduces
Mea,
leading
to

getting
hot
and
dangerous.
Official
Synopsis:
When
criminal
defense
attorney
Mea
Harper
(Kelly
Rowland)
takes
on
the
murder
case
of
artist
Zyair
Malloy
(Trevante
Rhodes),
the
truth
isn’t
as
obvious
as
it
seems.
While
she
tries
to
determine
the
innocence
or
guilt
of
her
cagy-yet-seductive
client,
it
is
uncovered
that
everyone
is
guilty
of
something.
Tyler
Perry’s
Mea
Culpa
explores
what
happens
when
burning
desire
takes
hold,
and
things
get
hot…
and
dangerous.
Speaking
about
the
idea
of
the
film
with
Netflix’s
website
Tudum,
Perry
said,
“This
idea
came
to
me
because
I
love
all
of
those
older
thrillers
from
the
’80s
and
’90s.
He
continued,
“It
was
fun
to
explore
the
best
and
worst
of
humanity
through
the
genre
of
an
exotic
thriller.”
As
you
can
imagine,
the
reactions
to
Mea
Culpa
are
pouring
in.
Many
are
already
declaring
that
they
will
be
hitting
play
on
the
film
to
see
Rhodes
and
Rowland
get
hot
and
heavy
on
their
television
screens.
“Imma
be
seated
just
because
of
Kelly
+
Trevante,”
a
post
on
X,
formerly
Twitter,
read.
Others
are
weary
of
another
Tyler
Perry-written
and
directed
film
because
of
his
penchant
for
doing
too
damn
much
in
his
projects.
LOL.
We
are
sure
people
will
be
watching
and
talking
about
Mea
Culpa,
good
and
bad,
when
the
film
arrives
exclusively
on
Netflix
on
Feb.23.
