Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black has been renewed for a second season. Netflix picked up the series for a new batch of episodes just a few days after Season 1 Part 2 hit the platform on March 6.

"We left fans on the edge of their seats at the end of Season 1, and we're thrilled to continue Kimmie's journey as she steps into her power as the newest member of the Bellaire family," Perry said in a statement to Deadline. "Kimmie exemplifies the spirit of never underestimating the underdog, and I can't wait for fans to continue to see her story unfold. If you thought Season 1 was a wild ride, you're not ready for Season 2."

Written and directed by Tyler Perry, Beauty in Black debuted on Netflix in October 2024. The story focuses on Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a young exotic dancer trying to earn a living after a falling out with her mother.

Returning for the second half of its first season last week with the release of an additional eight episodes for a total of 16, “Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black” has been renewed for a second season, the streaming service announced on Wednesday.

Like Season 1, Season 2 will also be released in two parts.

The series follows two women leading very different lives. While Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a stripper struggling to make a living after her mother kicked her out, Mallory (Crystle Stewart) is running a successful business. Ultimately, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives when Kimmie’s fate takes a surprising turn after she crosses paths with the wealthy, dysfunctional family behind a cosmetics dynasty and a devious trafficking scheme.

Tyler Perry is a massive media mogul, with many movies and television shows spread across multiple streaming services. The actor, writer, director, and producer is perhaps best known for playing Madea, a tough elderly woman who has appeared in several stage plays, a dozen movies, and numerous television series. This includes Tyler Perry's House of Payne, which aired for eight seasons on TBS from 2006 to 2012. Shortly after, Perry formed a partnership to produce series for the Oprah Winfrey Network.

In recent years, however, Perry's projects have been confined to streaming, most notably Netflix. From 2020 to 2024, he wrote and directed A Fall from Grace, A Madea Homecoming, A Jazzman's Blues, Mea Culpa, and The Six Triple Eight – all for Netflix. Many of these movies were panned by critics, but were somewhat popular on the streaming service. In 2025, Perry has Madea's Destination Wedding and several new shows premiering. In addition, one of...

The Tyler Perry-created drama Beauty in Black is getting a second season.

The streamer announced the renewal Wednesday, six days after the second half of the show’s first season debuted. The new batch of episodes returned Beauty in Black to Netflix’s worldwide top 10 for the week of March 3-9 after part one (released in October 2024) spent four weeks on the list.

Beauty in Black centers on Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a stripper who becomes entangled in the world of a family that runs a cosmetics empire — and a trafficking scheme.

“We left fans on the edge of their seats at the end of season one, and we’re thrilled to continue Kimmie’s journey as she steps into her power as the newest member of the Bellaire family,” Perry said in a statement. “Kimmie exemplifies the spirit of never underestimating the underdog, and I can’t wait...

Following a mid-season hiatus in October 2024, Tyler Perry'sBeauty in Black concluded on Netflix on March 6, 2025. The juicy melodrama concerns enterprising dancer Kimmie (Taylor Palidore Williams) and the whirlwind of change she experiences after being accepted into a fancy haircare school owned by a reputable family and run by Mallory Bellaire (Crystle Stewart).

What begins as a hopeful fresh start for Kimmie turns dark and devious with kidnap, blackmail, and ultimately murder within her new community, which turns out to be just as criminal as her old one. Although the show has been ripped apart for its unsubtle stereotypes and crass misogyny, the final six episodes have enough twists and turns to sort out the confusion and give audiences clear-cut answers about the conclusion.

Kimmie is a woman on a mission in Part 2 of Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black, now streaming on Netflix.

Following her sister’s abduction at the end of Part 1, “the switch in Kimmie’s brain has completely flipped,” star Taylor Polidore Williams tells TVLine. “As soon as she saw [Sylvie] being brought into this crazy world, that’s when it kicks in for her to finally fight. Watching Part 1, I was like, ‘Oh my God, fight back. Please fight back!'”

Tyler Perrys Beauty in Black is another instant hit for Netflix as part of the writer/director/actors collaboration with the streamer. However, the new series has also continued a trend of appalling critical reviews and love-it-or-hate-it audience reactions to Perrys exclusive releases on the platform.
