Kelly Rowland stars as a defense lawyer whose relationship with a client goes from professional to personal in Netflix’s Mea Culpa from writer/director Tyler Perry. The two-minute trailer shows Rowland taking on a murder case and learning too late that a snake is never violent while it’s stalking its prey.
The film also stars Trevante Rhodes, Nick Sagar, Sean Sagar, RonReaco Lee, and Shannon Thornton.
“When criminal defense attorney Mea Harper (Rowland) takes on the murder case of artist Zyair Malloy (Rhodes), the truth isn’t as obvious as it seems,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “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.”
Perry, Rowland, Dianne Ashford, Will Areu, and Angi Bones serve as producers.
Mea Culpa will premiere on Netflix on February 23, 2024.
