The drama of Beauty in Black, Tyler Perry’s addictive Netflix series, has fans eagerly awaiting Season 2 Part 2 after Part 1’s jaw-dropping cliffhanger. With Kimmie claiming her spot at the top of the Bellarie empire, the stakes are higher than ever. Here’s the latest on when the next episodes might drop, who’s returning, and what twists the plot has in store.
When to Expect Season 2 Part 2 on Netflix
No official release date has surfaced yet for Season 2 Part 2, but clues point to a likely premiere in early 2026, possibly January or February. Season 2 Part 1 hit screens on September 11, 2025, with eight episodes that left everyone talking. Looking back, Season 1’s first half launched in October 2024, and its second half followed in March 2025—a five-month gap.
