In Perry’s first comedy series on Netflix, Terri J. Vaughn stars as a politician who wins her election — and then realizes her new job will involve a lot more than what she originally signed up for. The 16 episodes in Season 1 will premiere in two batches. Part 1 will debut May 22, with Part 2 releasing Aug. 14. And now, you can watch the trailer for the new series above. Plus, check out photos from the show below.
She the People is the second series under Perry’s multi-year first-look creative partnership with Netflix, which sees him write, produce, and direct films, series, and faith-based features. Perry’s latest film, The Six Triple Eight, became his most viewed film on Netflix in its first four weeks of streaming, and the release boosted viewing for his other films by 45 percent.
She the People will premiere on the heels of hit drama Beauty in Black Part 1 reaching #1 on the Global Top 10 TV List (English) after its debut in Oct. 2024.
