The Tyler Perry series “Beauty in Black” has been renewed for Season 2 at Netflix, Variety has learned.
The news comes less than a week after the debut of Part 2 of Season 1, which dropped on March 6. The first half of the series originally debuted on Oct. 24. As with the first season, Season 2 will be released in two parts.
“We left fans on the edge of their seats at the end of Season 1, and we’re thrilled to continue Kimmie’s journey as she steps into her power as the newest member of the Bellaire family,” Perry said. “Kimmie exemplifies the spirit of never underestimating the underdog, and I can’t wait for fans to continue to see her story unfold. If you thought Season 1 was a wild ride, you’re not ready for Season 2.”
The cast of the series includes: Taylor Polidore Williams, Crystle Stewart, Amber Reign Smith, Ricco Ross, Debbi Morgan, Richard Lawson, Steven G. Norfleet, Julian Horton, Terrell Carter, Shannon Wallace, Bryan Tanaka, Joy Rovaris, Xavier Smalls, Charles Malik Whitfield, Tamera “Tee” Kissen, Ursula O. Robinson, Ashley Versher, George Middlebrook, and Ts Madison.
The logline for Part 1 states that it “follows two women leading very different lives. While Kimmie (Polidore Williams) is struggling to make a living after her mother kicked her out, and Mallory (Stewart) is running a successful business, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.”
The logline for Part 2 states, “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.”
Perry serves as the writer, director, and producer on “Beauty in Black.” Angi Bones and Tony Strickland produce for Tyler Perry Studios.
