In a major announcement that has fans buzzing, Netflix has officially renewed Tyler Perry’s hit drama Beauty in Black for a third and final season. The renewal comes just ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of Season 2, Part 2, set for March 19, 2026, marking a bittersweet milestone for one of the streamer’s biggest successes in 2025.
Created, written, directed, and executive produced by Tyler Perry, Beauty in Black follows the intersecting lives of two women from vastly different worlds. Kimmie, played by Taylor Polidore Williams, starts as a struggling exotic dancer kicked out by her mother and trapped in a dangerous life. Her path crosses with Mallory Bellaire (Crystle Stewart), the ambitious head of a thriving hair-care empire built on family wealth and hidden secrets. As Kimmie’s story unfolds, she transforms from an underdog fighting for survival into a powerful force within the dysfunctional Bellarie family, inheriting control of the business and uncovering its dark underbelly, including ties to trafficking.
The series exploded onto Netflix in late 2024, with Season 1 quickly climbing the charts. Part 1 spent weeks in the global Top 10, hitting No. 1 in dozens of countries. The momentum continued into 2025, where Season 2, Part 1 dominated views upon its September release, solidifying its status as a breakout hit. Viewers have been captivated by the high-stakes drama: betrayals, power struggles, vengeance, and jaw-dropping twists that keep audiences on edge.
Kimmie’s journey has been the heart of the show. From the gritty club scenes to boardroom battles, her rise to chief operating officer—and now sole owner—has turned her into an unstoppable figure. The Bellarie family, including characters like Horace (Ricco Ross), Norman (Richard Lawson), and Olivia (Debbi Morgan), faces reckoning as buried crimes surface. Mallory, the former queen bee, promises fierce resistance, hinting at shocking comebacks in the upcoming episodes.
Netflix’s decision to greenlight Season 3 while labeling it the finale ensures an epic conclusion to Kimmie’s saga. Filming is already underway in Atlanta and Chicago, building toward a climactic end. Perry has teased that the stakes will be higher than ever, with more ruthlessness, calculated moves, and family chaos.
Supporting cast members like Amber Reign Smith as Rain, Xavier Smalls as Angel, Julian Horton as Roy, and Debbi Morgan bring depth to the ensemble, amplifying the themes of ambition, survival, and redemption. The show’s blend of soap-opera intensity with real-world grit has resonated globally, proving Perry’s knack for delivering addictive storytelling.
As Season 2, Part 2 approaches, fans are urged to catch up on the chaos so far. With Kimmie calling the shots and old enemies plotting, the back half promises unrelenting drama. And while the end is in sight with Season 3, this renewal cements Beauty in Black as a defining triumph for Tyler Perry on Netflix in 2025—one that no viewer should miss starting from episode one.
