Release Date on Netflix: When to Expect It?

Credits: Netflix

The highly anticipated Netflix release of “Six Triple Eight” is just around the corner, sparking interest among viewers eager to stream this compelling TV film. Written and directed by Tyler Perry, this American war-crime drama draws inspiration from a 2019 article in WWII History magazine by Kevin M. Hymel. It tells the incredible tale of 855 women who rose to the challenge during World War II to sort through a massive backlog of undelivered mail accumulated over three years. Despite facing discrimination and the difficulties of a war-torn environment, these women successfully managed to sort over 17 million pieces of mail ahead of schedule.

The film is slated for release on Netflix on December 20, 2024.

“Six Triple Eight” sheds light on the remarkable true story of the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color dispatched overseas during World War II. This narrative focuses on the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black and all-female unit that made history by serving in Europe. These 855 brave women arrived in Europe in February 1945 and were given the daunting task of sorting through 17 million pieces of mail, many marked with incorrect or missing addresses. They accomplished this enormous task in just six months, demonstrating dedication and perseverance.

The cast of “Six Triple Eight” includes notable actors such as Kerry Washington, Sam Waterston, Susan Sarandon, and Oprah Winfrey, among others.
