Netflix Nigeria has taken the excitement for The Six Triple Eight up a notch, featuring none other than Kerry Washington speaking pidgin-English to connect with Nigerian audiences.

Sharing a playful and heartwarming video on their X handle, Netflix captioned it: “Love me a pidgin-speaking Kerry Washington ❤️ 🇳🇬”

The unexpected clip has already sparked a frenzy online, with fans praising Washington’s charm and Netflix’s clever marketing strategy.

The Six Triple Eight, directed by Tyler Perry, tells the gripping story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—an all-black, all-female unit that played a crucial role during World War II.

Featuring a star-studded cast including Kerry Washington, Oprah Winfrey, Ebony Obsidian, and Susan Sarandon, the film highlights themes of resilience, unity, and breaking barriers.

Washington stars as Major Charity Adams, a commanding force who stands tall against racism and sexism while leading her battalion to overcome impossible odds.

The film, which has already debuted in select cinemas on December 6, 2024, will hit Netflix on December 20, just in time for the holidays.

Critics have been divided on the film. While Variety praised it as “Tyler Perry’s best and most substantial feature to date,” The Guardian criticized its execution, calling it a “stodgy ode” to the heroic battalion. However, fans are already hyped to see Washington’s portrayal of a powerful leader and the stories of unsung heroes brought to light.

Kerry Washington’s pidgin-English moment has become the highlight for many on social media.
