dpNetflix and Tyler Perry have committed to telling more Beauty in Black stories as the streamer has renewed the drama series for a fourth season ahead of its Season 3 premiere. In December, Netflix announced the show had been renewed for a third and final season.
The renewal arrives after a successful second season, released in two parts, which spent six weeks in the Global Top 10 and reached No. 1 in 17 countries, according to Netflix.
Beauty in Black is created, directed, written, and executive produced by Perry and follows two women leading very different lives. While Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) struggles to make a living after her mother kicked her out, Mallory (Crystle Stewart) runs a successful business. They are entangled in each other’s lives.
In Season 2, the ruthless, backstabbing family behind a beauty brand — and an underground trafficking ring — will face a reckoning. Kimmie, the once-unassuming sex worker in their employ, becomes an unstoppable force of vengeance on a mission to rescue her kidnapped sister.
In the upcoming third season, Kimmie finally has a seat at the Bellarie table, but when a deadly family feud erupts, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance with Mallory. Together, they navigate a ruthless world of blackmail, revenge, and buried secrets as the family wages war against one of its own, threatening to bring the entire empire crashing down.
No date for Season 3 has been revealed.
“Beauty in Black is back for Season 4, and the Bellarie family’s story is far from finished. There was so much more I wanted to explore, and I’m grateful I get to keep telling this story, shared Perry. “To the audience that has been on this ride with us from day one, thank you for watching and sharing it with the world. More episodes are on the way!”
