Stills from Mea Culpa
Tyler Perry and Netflix are like two peas in a pod these days, with their partnership blossoming stronger with each project. Their latest collaboration, Mea Culpa, marks their fifth consecutive venture, building on the success of A Fall From Grace (2020), A Madea Homecoming (2022), A Jazzman's Blues (2022), and the much-anticipated Six Triple Eight. This prolific partnership has cemented Perry's status as one of Netflix's go-to directors, particularly when it comes to gripping thrillers.
What does the trailer show?
Mea Culpa was announced last year by Netflix, and now the streaming giant has finally dropped the official trailer. It shows Kelly Rowland as a criminal attorney Mea Harper. With the media frenzy surrounding the case of Zyair Malloy (Trevante Rhodes), an artist accused of killing his girlfriend, Kelly Rowland steps in as his defense, determined to uncover the truth hidden under the accusations.

As the Mike-star delves deep into his girlfriend's habits and preferences, a peculiar tension fills the room. His descriptions, while detailed, seem to send shivers down Rowland's spine. She breaks her unsettling silence by reminding Rhodes of their professional boundary, and tells him that she's his attorney, not a friend to lean on.
While Rowland starts to interrogate folks who knew Rhodes and his girlfriend well, a guy throws out a shocking theory, "If he's not telling the truth, he's gotta be crazy." This sets the mood for a spooky story, filled with mysterious past events that will leave you wanting to know what happened in the past.
