Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black hooked fans with its juicy drama, shocking twists, and unforgettable characters in Season 1. Now, everyone’s buzzing about Season 2, dying to know what’s next for Kimmie, the Bellarie family, and all the chaos they bring. If you’re as obsessed as we are, here’s the latest on Beauty in Black Season 2, including when it drops, who’s back, and what wild drama to expect.
When Is Beauty in Black Season 2 Coming Out?
Good news, fans! Netflix has locked in September 11, 2025, for the premiere of Beauty in Black Season 2. Like the first season, it’ll roll out in two parts, with the first batch of episodes—likely eight—hitting on that date. The second part should follow a few months later, possibly in early 2026. Tyler Perry’s team wrapped filming earlier this year, so the wait won’t be too brutal. Perry himself dropped hints on social media, saying the new season is “coming sooner than you think,” and fans are already counting down the days.
Cast Updates: Who’s Returning for Season 2?
The heart of Beauty in Black is its stellar cast, and most of the fan favorites are expected to return. Taylor Polidore Williams is back as Kimmie, the former exotic dancer who shook things up by marrying Horace Bellarie (played by Ricco Ross) in the Season 1 finale. Their marriage is sure to stir up trouble, especially with Horace’s health on shaky ground—will he even make it through the season?
Here’s who else we expect to see:
-
Crystle Stewart as Mallory Bellarie, the glamorous but ruthless beauty mogul fighting to keep her family’s empire intact.
-
Debbi Morgan as Olivia Bellarie, the sharp-tongued matriarch who’s always scheming to stay on top.
-
Amber Reign Smith as Rain, Kimmie’s ride-or-die bestie who’s been through it all.
-
Julian Horton as Roy Bellarie, caught up in the family’s power games.
-
Steven G. Norfleet as Charles Bellarie, another key player in the Bellarie drama.
-
Richard Lawson as Norman Bellarie, Horace’s brother, adding more tension to the mix.
No word yet on new faces, but knowing Tyler Perry, he’s probably got some surprise characters up his sleeve to keep us guessing.
What to Expect in Season 2
The Season 1 finale left audiences reeling with Kimmie’s marriage to Horace, a strategic move to secure his fortune and outmaneuver his scheming family. Season 2 will dive deeper into Kimmie’s transformation from underdog to a powerful force within the Bellarie empire. Expect intense power struggles as Mallory, Olivia, and others resist Kimmie’s newfound control.
The official synopsis hints at darker themes: Kimmie, once a sex worker under the Bellaries’ employ, becomes “an unstoppable force of vengeance” on a mission to rescue her kidnapped sister. This suggests a focus on Kimmie’s quest for justice, alongside the unraveling of the Bellarie family’s secrets, including their ties to an underground trafficking ring.
Key storylines to watch:
-
Kimmie’s Rise to Power: How will Kimmie handle her new role as the Bellarie family’s matriarch? Her marriage to Horace puts her at odds with his children and in-laws, setting the stage for explosive confrontations.
-
Horace’s Fate: With Horace on his deathbed in Season 1, will he survive to guide Kimmie, or will his passing shift the power dynamics further?
-
Family Betrayals: The Bellarie family is no stranger to backstabbing. Olivia’s blackmail schemes and Mallory’s ambitions will likely fuel more drama.
-
Rain’s Journey: After a tumultuous Season 1, Rain’s health and loyalty to Kimmie will be tested. Will she remain a steady ally?
Tyler Perry has promised that Season 2 will be a “wild ride,” with unexpected turns that no one will see coming. Fans can expect more of the soapy drama that made Season 1 a hit.
