Kimmie looking nervous in an episode of Beauty in Black

The trailer for Beauty in Black season 2 reveals the show’s release date, teasing what comes next after some major cliffhangers. Created by Tyler Perry, who also writes and directs the series, the drama debuted on Netflix in October 2024 with eight episodes, and another eight episodes were released in March 2025. The story centers on two women from vastly different backgrounds who want to change their tumultuous circumstances.

With a Beauty in Black cast that includes Taylor Polidore Williams, Crystle Stewart, Amber Reign Smith, Xavier Smalls, Ts Madison, Julian Horton, Steven G. Norfleet, and Richard Lawson, among several others, the soapy drama garnered a divisive response after premiering but climbed the streaming charts and built up a devoted audience.

Netflix has unveiled the teaser trailer for Beauty in Black season 2, which reveals that new episodes will premiere on Thursday, September 11. The trailer also teases the fallout from the previous installment, in which Kimmie (Williams) makes a decision that alters the trajectory of the entire series. The total number of episodes in season 2 has not been revealed yet. Check out the trailer below:

What Beauty In Black Season 2 Means For The Show

Kimmie Is Finally On The Upswing

A lot happens in the very busy Beauty in Black season 1 ending, but the biggest shift has to be that Kimmie agrees to marry Horace (Ricco Ross). She does this to keep his children from taking away his money. It also represents a significant shift for Kimmie herself, though, especially since she hasn’t always had the most stable relationship with Horace.

At one point, during the first season, he has a gun pointed at her. She has to nervously explain her true motives and the tense moment subsides. But it could just be a matter of time before that turbulent history rears its head in Beauty in Black season 2, complicating their arrangement.

The trailer highlights that, for the time being at least, Horace is willing to teach Kimmie what he knows. Horace’s family, for their part, are willing to play nice and go along with the new reality to varying degrees. But it’s safe to say that the new status quo won’t hold, considering the volatile elements involved.

Bring On The Chaos

Part of the excitement of a soap opera is that nothing stays the same for too long. Beauty in Black season 2 could look completely different by the time it ends. At least in the immediate future, though, there looks to be a showdown between Kimmie in the role of the new stepmom. That will be fun to watch unfold.
