Netflix Renews ‘Beauty in Black’ for Third and Final Season

Tyler Perry’s hit drama saga is approaching its definitive conclusion following a major programming decision by the streaming service. Netflix has officially ordered a third installment of the popular series while simultaneously confirming that this upcoming chapter will serve as the show’s finale. The renewal arrives well in advance of the second half of the current season, ensuring viewers will see a proper resolution to the entangled lives of the central characters.

The narrative centers on the colliding worlds of two distinct protagonists, with Taylor Polidore Williams portraying Kimmie and Crystle Stewart starring as Mallory. Kimmie struggles to rebuild her life after being forced out of her home and working in the adult entertainment industry, while Mallory manages a successful haircare dynasty that conceals a darker underbelly. Their paths intersect in a complex web of trafficking and corporate corruption, driving the high-stakes conflict that has propelled the series to significant viewership numbers since its debut.

Data from the streaming platform indicates the show has been a robust performer, with the first season climbing to the top of the global English-language TV charts shortly after its release. This success solidifies the output from Perry’s comprehensive creative partnership with the service, which includes feature films such as ‘Mea Culpa’ and ‘Six Triple Eight’. The show stands as Perry’s first drama series created specifically for the streamer, marking a significant expansion of his television footprint beyond his traditional linear cable strongholds.

Netflix has also solidified the release schedule for the remaining episodes of the current chapter. ‘Beauty in Black’ Season 2, Part 2 is officially scheduled to premiere on March 19, 2026. This upcoming block of episodes will bridge the narrative gap between the events of the September 2025 release and the newly confirmed final season. The decision to conclude the series with a third season aligns with a broader industry trend of streamers opting for defined endings rather than indefinite runs for high-budget serialized dramas.

The supporting ensemble features Amber Reign Smith, Xavier Smalls, Julian Horton, and Steven G. Norfleet, who are expected to return to close out their respective storylines. Veterans such as Debbi Morgan and Richard Lawson also round out the extensive cast. The series is produced by Tyler Perry Studios, with Perry serving as creator, writer, and executive producer alongside Angi Bones and Tony L. Strickland. Production on the final episodes will likely commence following the promotional cycle for the upcoming spring release, allowing the creative team to craft a conclusion that addresses the complex plot threads woven throughout the first two seasons.
