Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official The Kitchen trailer for director Andrea Berloff’s upcoming crime drama. Starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss, the movie will arrive in theaters on August 9. Check out the trailer now in the player below as well as the new poster in the gallery!

The Kitchen is an adaptation of the DC/Vertigo female-fronted comic book series of the same name. The original series was written by Ollie Masters and illustrated by Becky Cloonan and Ming Doyle. The series takes place in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, in the 1970s and follows the wives of Irish mobsters. Ultimately, the wives step in and take over to start running the business after several men are arrested during a mafia sweep.

Three 1978 Hell’s Kitchen housewives whose mobster husbands are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia’s matters into their own hands—proving unexpectedly adept at everything from running the rackets to taking out the competition…literally.

Melissa McCarthy (Ghostbusters, The Heat) plays Kathy, an adoring mother who leads the charge for the women to take over the business. Tiffany Haddish (Girls’ Trip, Night School) plays Ruby O’Carroll, a woman willing to kill anyone who gets in her way while Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale, Us) plays the role of Claire Walsh, a timid wife of an abusive husband who eventually starts to fall in love with the violence that starts to take over her life.

The cast also includes Domhnall Gleeson (About Time, Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Common (Selma,Eve), James Badge Dale (World War Z, Donnybrook), Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight), Margo Martindale (The Americans), Bill Camp (The Night Of), and Jeremy Bobb (Marshall).

Andrea Berloff wrote the script for the film and made her directorial debut with The Kitchen. She is best known for co-writing Straight Outta Compton. Michael De Luca will be producing the film.
