Tyler Perry’s ‘Beauty in Black’ Renewed for Third and Final Season Ahead of Season 2 Part 2 Premiere

Netflix has renewed Tyler Perry’s hit drama Beauty in Black for a third and final season, sparking excitement across the fandom as Kimmie’s high-stakes journey heads toward an explosive conclusion.

The news arrives just ahead of the March 19, 2026, premiere of Season 2 Part 2, offering fans new images, fresh key art and the promise that Perry is preparing to close this saga with fire, finesse and unapologetic drama. The renewal cements the series’ place as one of Perry’s boldest, most addictive dramas, promising an epic conclusion to Kimmie’s war with the Bellarie family when the final chapter arrives.

The streamer also confirmed that Season 2 Part 2 will premiere March 19, 2026, accompanied by first-look images and new key art that already have viewers dissecting every detail. Season 3 storylines remain under wraps, but the early confirmation signals that Perry intends to land this saga with intention, scale and the emotional payoff audiences have been demanding.

Created, written, directed and executive-produced by Tyler Perry, Beauty in Black has quickly evolved from a sleeper hit to a certified global phenomenon. Season 1 spent seven weeks in Netflix’s Top 10, snagging the No. 1 spot across 28 countries in its second week. Season 2 Part 1 followed suit, topping charts in 14 countries and fueling endless social discussion about power, survival and the cost of reinvention.

And fans have every reason to be excited.

One of the reasons Beauty In Black has resonated so deeply with LGBTQ+ audiences is its unapologetic inclusion of queer characters whose storylines are not treated as side notes, but as central threads in the fabric of the series. Tyler Perry leans into complexity, offering queer characters who carry power, secrets, longing and agency within the Bellarie empire.

Season 2 Part 1 spotlight fan favorite queer characters such as Charles Bellaire and Attorney Varney by Steven G. Norfleet and Terrell Carter, whose performances add an emotional texture and high stakes tension to Kimmie’s ascent. The series also continues to uplift actors such as Ricco Ross, who portrays Bellarie family patriarch, Horace.

Their presence reinforces what fans have celebrated from the beginning; Beauty In Black  refuses to flatten inquire identity. Instead, the show situates queerness as part of the power struggle, the intimacy, and the dangerous glamour that define the Bellarie world.

For many LGBTQ+ viewers, this representation is more than aesthetic, it is affirming. In a landscape with quick characters and thrillers are often sidelined or sensationalized, Beauty In Black  makes space for their complexity, their desires and their survival. And that commitment is one more reason fans across queer communities are eagerly awaiting March 19.

At its core, Beauty in Black offers something rare; a gritty, high-stakes, female-centered drama where a Black woman not only survives the violence set against her but rises to command the very empire that sought to destroy her. The show taps into something communal, a hunger to see our heroines not just endure but ascend. And Kimmie’s rise from an overlooked sex worker to a calculating, self-possessed CEO has become one of the most compelling arcs in Perry’s television universe.

Season 2 promises to deepen that transformation. As the Bellarie family’s carefully guarded world of beauty, power and underground trafficking fractures, Kimmie now stands at the center, holding sole ownership of the business and turning the tables on anyone who once underestimated her.

The ensemble cast, Taylor Polidore Williams, Crystle Stewart, Amber Reign Smith, Xavier Smalls, Ricco Ross, Julian Horton, Steven G. Norfleet, Richard Lawson, Terrell Carter, Bryan Tanaka, Charles Malik Whitfield and Debbi Morgan, continues to anchor the series with performances that oscillate between ferocity and vulnerability. Guest stars Bailey Tippen, Randall J. Bacon, Greg Clarkson and others will expand the show’s world as tensions escalate.

Perry reunites with producers Angi Bones and Tony Strickland of Tyler Perry Studios, ensuring that the series’ signature blend of melodrama, moral complexity and emotional thrill remains intact. Music by Wow Jones and Jimijame$ returns as well, offering the pulsing sonic backdrop fans have come to associate with some of the show’s most unforgettable scenes.

The announcement of a final season may feel bittersweet, but viewers familiar with Perry’s storytelling know that endings, when crafted deliberately, can be transformative. Bringing Beauty in Black to a close after three seasons suggests a commitment to clarity over prolonging the tale, a promise that Kimmie’s saga will end on her terms, not simply fade into the algorithm.

Until then, anticipation swells as March 19 approaches. With secrets unraveling, allegiances shifting and Kimmie standing firmly in her power, Season 2 Part 2 is set to pull the series deeper into the shadows it dares to expose.

And fans, hungry for every twist, every reveal, every reclamation, are ready.
