The first part of Netflix’s ‘Beauty in Black’ was full of drama and concluded in suspense
Tyler Perry’s first-ever Netflix series has shot to the top of the charts.
Beauty in Black, a two-part series that premiered on Oct. 24, follows Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) — a struggling stripper — whose life takes a turn when she crosses paths with a wealthy family behind a cosmetics dynasty and a sex trafficking scheme.
Kimmie is befriended by the patriarch of the Bellaire family, Horace (Ricco Ross), and grows close to his son, Roy (Julian Horton). At the same time, her boss at the strip club, Body (Tamera Kissen), becomes increasingly paranoid that she’s out to take her job as the right-hand woman to Jules (Charles Malik Whitfield) — a pimp and the Bellaire’s fixer.
A parallel storyline follows Roy’s wife, Mallory (Crystle Stewart), who runs the family’s cosmetic company, Beauty in Black. Mallory is also in crisis as she tries to cover up her involvement in a hit-and-run while also coming to terms with her crumbling marriage.
“You can expect twists, turns, betrayal, grit. It’s definitely binge-able,” Taylor Polidore Williams told Good Day NWA.
There are a total of 16 episodes in the first season of Beauty in Black, but only eight are available. So when will fans be able to binge the rest of the series (and learn what really happened in that final scene)? Here’s everything we know so far about Beauty in Black season 1, part 2.
How did Beauty in Black part 1 end?
The first part of Beauty in Black season 1 ends on a major cliffhanger: Convinced that Kimmie is out to take her job, Body seeks to hit her where it hurts most. She kidnaps Kimmie’s 16-year-old sister, Sylvie (Bailey Tippen), and hints that she’s going to use her to make money in the sex-trafficking ring.
Outside of Kimmie’s motel, the two women get into a physical altercation that ends quickly when Body draws a knife. Boiling over with rage, Kimmie gets in her friend’s car and drives straight into Body. The episode concludes dramatically with the strip club owner pinned between two cars.
What has Tyler Perry said about Beauty in Black part 2?
Although Perry hasn’t shared Beauty in Black season 1 part 2 spoilers so far, he told Tudum in October 2024 that the remaining eight episodes will be “mind-blowing.”
He added: “I don’t think anybody’s going to be able to figure out where it’s going and how that rise of power happens with Kimmie.”
What has the cast said about Beauty in Black part 2?
The first half of Beauty in Black season 1 was filled with drama, but Williams and Crystle Stewart say that’s only the beginning.
According to Perry’s leading ladies, the real story will begin once Kimmie and Mallory’s worlds collide in the show.
“That’s the story. How we link up. That’s what you have to watch and see. It’s a wild ride leading up to that point,” Stewart teased during an interview with Classix ATL in October 2024.
When will Beauty in Black part 2 come out?
As of now, a release date for season 1, part 2 of Beauty in Black has not been announced.
