The announcement comes after creator Tyler Perry dropped a hint to fans on social media.
It looks like Season 2 was inked in the Bellaire family’s will! Netflix confirmed on Wednesday that Tyler Perry’s “Beauty in Black” has been renewed.
Although there’s no official air date, a spokesperson said the show will be rolled out in two parts, similar to the first season. Following the explosive finale, fans have been calling for more episodes on social media.
Netflix’s announcement comes after Perry − the show’s director, writer, and producer − dropped a hint to viewers and thanked them for tuning in.
“YALL AINT READY FOR SEASON 2 of #BeautyInBlack !!” he wrote in a recent Instagram post. “Thanks for making season one HUGE!”
According to the streaming platform, the first installment of Season 1, released in October, was a mainstay in the Top 10 for four weeks, ultimately shooting up to the number one spot in 28 countries. Part Two also brought in viewership after it dropped earlier this month.
In ‘Beauty in Black,’ Kimmie ‘taps into her true power’
Tyler Perry’s “Beauty in Black” follows exotic dancer Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a victim of abuse and an underground human trafficking operation. Her life deeply intersects with a wealthy, powerful family running a successful hair care business in Chicago.
Throughout the drama series, the shiny surface of the Bellaire empire begins to crack, revealing their ruthless ways. Members of the family, along with those around them, will do anything, including murder, to keep their power and influence.
When Kimmie’s sister Sylvie (Bailey Tippen) is kidnapped, she is out for blood, showing that the underdog should never be underestimated.
“Kimmie doesn’t initially find the strength to fight for herself alone, because her love and purpose exist outside of her,” Williams previously told Tudum. “It’s only when the people she loves are affected that she taps into her true power.”

Along with the announcement, Netflix released a teaser for Season 2. It features Kimmie and Mallory (Crystle Stewart), the glamorous, vicious, slick-mouthed boss who married into the Bellarie family. She helps keep the beauty brand running when scathing allegations about their products are revealed to the public.
“Every struggle. Every lie. Every heartache. Every betrayal. Every step falls to this,” the stars say in the video.
