Fans of Tyler Perry’s drama Beauty in Black are eagerly waiting for the next part of the story after the intense cliffhangers in Season 2 Part 1. The show, which follows Kimmie‘s rise from a struggling club dancer to the powerful leader of the Bellarie family’s beauty empire, has left viewers with many questions. Here is everything we know so far about Part 2, including when it might arrive, who will be back, and what could happen next.
When Will Season 2 Part 2 Be Released?
Netflix has not yet announced the exact release date for Beauty in Black Season 2 Part 2. However, based on the release pattern of the first season, it is expected to arrive in early 2026. The first season Part 1 premiered on October 24, 2024, and Part 2 followed on March 6, 2025, about four months later. Since Season 2 Part 1 was released on September 11, 2025, a similar gap would place Part 2 in January or February 2026. This is still an estimate, and Netflix will likely confirm the date later this year.
Who Is in the Cast?
The main cast from Part 1 is expected to return for Part 2. Taylor Polidore Williams will be back as Kimmie, the new head of the Beauty in Black company after marrying patriarch Horace Bellarie. Ricco Ross plays Horace, who is currently receiving medical treatment in Italy. Crystle Stewart returns as Mallory, the former face of the brand who is not happy about losing her position. Other key cast members include Amber Reign Smith as Rain, Xavier Smalls as Angel, Julian Horton as Roy, Steven G. Norfleet as Charles, Debbi Morgan as Olivia, Richard Lawson as Norman, Charles Malik Whitfield as Jules, and Terrell Carter as Varney.
What Will Happen in the Plot?
Part 1 ended with several dramatic cliffhangers. Kimmie is now the COO of the Beauty in Black empire and is determined to expose the shady business practices of Olivia and Norman, which involve hidden offshore companies. She also has to deal with growing tension from Mallory, who is ready to fight back to reclaim her power. Meanwhile, Rain accidentally pushed Jules’s son out of a window, thinking he was hurting Sylvie. The boy is alive but badly injured, and Rain is scared about what Jules might do. In another shocking moment, Charles and Varney are held at gunpoint by masked men who broke into Charles’s home. These men claim to be police but are dressed like the robbers Charles previously killed. Part 2 will continue these storylines, with more twists, betrayals, and power struggles.
“Mallory’s going to dig in harder than ever to protect her power, because she’s not the type to hand over the throne,” actress Crystle Stewart told Netflix’s Tudum. “Let’s just say the power shifts are bigger, the betrayals cut deeper, and Mallory has a few tricks no one sees coming.”
Kimmie’s transformation into a confident leader will be a central focus. Taylor Polidore Williams, who plays Kimmie, mentioned that her character’s strength comes from Horace’s belief in her. Now, Kimmie is stepping fully into her new role, which will bring her into direct conflict with other family members.
How Many Episodes Will There Be?
Season 2 Part 2 will have eight episodes, the same as Part 1. This will bring the total for Season 2 to 16 episodes. The episodes will likely follow a similar naming pattern, though specific titles for Part 2 have not been revealed yet.
Is There Going to Be a Season 3?
There has been no official announcement about Season 3 yet. The show’s future may depend on how well Part 2 performs. Taylor Polidore Williams expressed hope for another season but confirmed that no decision has been made.
Where Can You Watch It?
Beauty in Black is available exclusively on Netflix. All episodes of Season 1 and the first eight episodes of Season 2 are currently streaming. When Part 2 is released, it will be added to the same platform.
