Netflix has unleashed the sizzling trailer for Part 3 of Tyler Perry’s gripping drama Beauty in Black, sending fans into a frenzy as Kimmie, the once-vulnerable exotic dancer turned cosmetics queen, solidifies her grip on the Bellarie empire. Dropped on November 12, 2025, the teaser clocks in at just over two minutes but packs enough intrigue, backstabbing, and high-stakes glamour to rival a full episode. With Season 2’s cliffhanger still fresh—Kimmie’s shotgun wedding to ailing patriarch Horace Bellarie catapulting her to COO of the family’s billion-dollar Beauty in Black haircare line—the new footage promises an even deadlier ascent, where loyalty is as fleeting as a bad highlight job.
At the heart of the storm is Taylor Polidore Williams’ breakout star Kimmie, evolving from a scholarship-seeking stripper entangled in the Bellaries’ shadowy world of trafficking and tycoon schemes into a calculated force of nature. The trailer opens with Kimmie striding through the opulent Bellarie headquarters, her signature fierce gaze locking onto scheming relatives. “This empire isn’t yours to bleed dry,” she snarls in a voiceover, as quick cuts reveal her unveiling bold expansions: a global rollout of eco-friendly product lines, influencer partnerships with rising Black beauty icons, and a secretive tech venture into AI-driven personalization tools. Flanked by the Bellarie clan—her new stepfamily—she’s not just surviving; she’s architecting a legacy that could redefine the industry, blending ruthless innovation with the family’s storied legacy of dominance.
But paradise in the penthouse comes with poison. The footage teases escalating fractures within the Bellarie dynasty. Horace (Ricco Ross), frail yet formidable, whispers warnings from his deathbed, hinting at buried secrets that could topple everything. His sons, the entitled Roy (Julian Horton) and hot-headed Charles (Steven G. Norfleet), plot in dimly lit corners, their resentment boiling over into sabotage attempts—from leaked boardroom memos to a suspicious warehouse fire that smells of arson.
Enter Mallory (Crystle Stewart), the ice-queen beauty mogul and Charles’ wife, whose alliance with Kimmie feels as fragile as spun glass; a tense spa confrontation shows her gripping Kimmie’s arm, eyes narrowing: “Blood or not, you’re playing with fire.” Then there’s Olivia (Debbi Morgan), the scorned ex-wife, lurking like a vengeful ghost, and Norman (Richard Lawson), Horace’s brother, whose “loyal” counsel reeks of double-dealing. Even Jules (Charles Malik Whitfield), Kimmie’s ex-boss and head of security, reemerges with a loaded proposition that blurs lines between protector and predator.
Created, directed, and executive-produced by Tyler Perry, Beauty in Black has masterfully woven gritty soap-opera vibes with sharp commentary on race, class, and ambition in America’s beauty industrial complex. Season 1 hooked viewers with Kimmie’s rags-to-riches pivot, dodging trafficking rings and family feuds en route to Horace’s bedside vow. Season 2 ramped up the body count—murders, affairs, and a corporate coup that left audiences gasping—culminating in Kimmie’s coronation as the new HBIC (Head Bellarie In Charge). Now, Part 3, slated for a December 2025 drop, dangles the ultimate question: In a nest of vipers, who will Kimmie trust to co-rule her burgeoning domain? The trailer’s pulse-pounding score, laced with sultry R&B beats, underscores the peril: shadowy figures tailing her limo, a poisoned champagne flute at a gala launch, and Kimmie’s chilling soliloquy—“Power isn’t given; it’s seized… and guarded with blood.”
Critics and fans alike are buzzing. “Kimmie’s arc is Perry at his peak—unapologetically Black, fiercely female, and fatally flawed,” raves one early reviewer. With Netflix’s global reach, expect the series to amplify conversations around economic empowerment and toxic legacies, much like Perry’s The Oval or Sistas. As the Bellaries’ cosmetics kingdom expands—from Atlanta salons to international spas—Kimmie’s trust game becomes a high-wire act. Will she forge unbreakable bonds, or watch her empire crumble under betrayal? One thing’s certain: in Beauty in Black, beauty is only skin-deep, and the real glow-up is survival. Stream the trailer now and brace for the fallout—December can’t come soon enough.
