Malcolm Washington's 'The Piano Lesson' Story of a Family Trailer #2

"You feel that...? That's your family, that's your blood." Netflix has revealed the second official trailer for the film The Piano Lesson, an adaptation of the August Wilson play. This first premiered at the 2024 Telluride & Toronto Film Festivals a few months ago, and is already playing in theaters now before Netflix for streaming soon. It's produced by Denzel Washington, featuring his son John David Washington, directed by his other son Malcolm Washington, making his feature directorial debut. The film follows the lives of the Charles family as they deal with themes of family legacy and more, in deciding what to do with an heirloom, the family piano.

With an all-star cast including Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Ray Fisher, Michael Potts, Erykah Badu, Skylar Aleece Smith, Gail Bean, Jerrika Hinton, with Danielle Deadwyler and Corey Hawkins.
