‘Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black’ Season 2 Officially Confirmed By Netflix
Tyler Perry‘s fevered fanbase received exciting news from Netflix: the streamer disclosed today that Beauty in Black has been granted a two-part Season 2 renewal.
Netflix also released a juicy teaser for the upcoming season along with its announcement.
Season 1, Part 1, follows how the contrasting lives of Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a struggling young woman, and Mallory (Crystle Stewart), a successful entrepreneur, ultimately become intertwined in dramatic Perry fashion.
As reported by Deadline, Part 2 has escalated quickly, developing how Kimmie has risen from an obedient sex worker to a relentless force determined to rescue her kidnapped sister from Mallory’s family sex trafficking ring.
Season 1, Part 2 ended with fans begging for more. Perry spoke with Netflix’s Tudum about keeping his audience hanging, saying, “I’m always trying to write these cliffhangers, where people are going, ‘Wait, did you see this? I want people talking about it around the watercooler and on [social media] … and just loving it.”
The show’s blueprint has proven to be successful. Season 1’s breakthrough to the top of the charts saw Part 1 rank No. 1 on Netflix’s top ten list for four weeks and in its second week, No. 1 across 28 countries.
Perry also spoke with Tudum about his excitement for the new season, saying, “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. 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.”
With this, Perry is setting the stage for more remarkable character development and promises an even more exciting season than its predecessor.
