Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black has returned to Netflix with the release of Part 2 of its debut season. The latest installment, which premiered on March 6, continues the dramatic saga introduced in October 2024, bringing the season’s total to 16 episodes.
The series follows the lives of two women from vastly different backgrounds—Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a struggling stripper seeking a way out, and Mallory Bellarie (Crystle Stewart), a wealthy woman entangled in the dark secrets of her family’s beauty empire. Their worlds collide amid hidden agendas, betrayals, and a sinister human trafficking plot that threatens to unravel everything.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, Beauty in Black has captivated audiences, quickly becoming one of Netflix’s most-watched shows. The first installment debuted at No. 4 on Netflix’s global chart, amassing 5.6 million views in its opening weekend and rising to 8.7 million in its second week.
Critics have pointed out the show’s melodramatic approach and stereotypical portrayals, but Tyler Perry’s signature storytelling continues to draw dedicated viewers. A review from Decider described the show as “a mix of gripping drama and over-the-top storytelling,” while others have praised its fast-paced narrative and compelling performances.
With all 16 episodes of Season 1 now available, fans are eagerly watching to see how Beauty in Black unfolds—and whether Netflix will greenlight a second season.
For those who enjoy high-stakes drama, family secrets, and Tyler Perry’s signature storytelling, Beauty in Black is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
