In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Liam Crowley at the premiere of his upcoming Netflix movie Straw, which debuts on June 6, Perry was asked about the status of Beauty in Black season 2. The creator, writer, and director struck an optimistic tone and shared that season 2 is filmed and will be debuting soon. Read the quote below:

ScreenRant: You had a show with Netflix, Beauty in Black. Season 2, are there any updates on that front?

ScreenRant: How’s it compare to season 1?

Tyler Perry: Better.

What This Means For Beauty In Black Season 2

The First Installment Left A Lot Of Questions

The second half of season 1 ended in spectacular fashion. Horace (Ricco Ross), ailing and on the back foot for once, makes one final attempt to remain in power. Kimmie (Williams) is a part of that, since Horrace wants to marry her. Kimmie accepts Horrace’s proposal, wanting a better life for herself, but it sets up a different dynamic that will play out throughout Beauty in Black season 2 and lead to shifting character relationships.

Beauty in Black has dropped the rest of its first season, and the ending of part 2 has brought some of the show’s biggest bombshells yet.

There is also the fact that Olivia (Debbi Morgan) blackmailed Lena (Ashley Versher), with Olivia’s wealth once again shielding her from consequences. For the soapy drama that has captured viewers since its debut in October 2024, swiftly accumulating millions of minutes viewed on Netflix, this latest update is an encouraging sign that Beauty in Black‘s twists and turns will resume soon.

Our Take On Beauty In Black’s Return

It’s Very Watchable

For a prolific creator, everyone has their favorite Tyler Perry movie and show. Straw looks to continue along those lines as a traditional thriller that will likely pack a few surprises. Beauty in Black, though, underlines the fact that a wild soap can catch on with audiences, because something is comforting in the sense that just about anything can happen.
