Beauty in Black is not slowing down. The first eight episodes of Season 2 dropped on September 11, and viewers were immediately hooked on it. According to People, the Netflix drama, led by Taylor Polidore Williams as Kimmie, has been a breakout for the platform, thanks to its mix of family tension, romance, and high-stakes business battles.

Season 1 ended with Horace (Ricco Ross) proposing to Kimmie, only to reveal his failing health and her new role as heir to his fortune and the Bellarie empire. Their marriage set off a chain reaction inside the family, sparking resentment and an all-out fight for power.

Part 2 of Season 2 promises to keep the fallout coming. Tyler Perry, who created and directed the series, told Tudum in September, “All I can say is, ‘Expect the unexpected’ – the second season is full of twists that will keep you guessing until the very end. Get ready!”

What to expect next

Kimmie has now stepped into the COO role at Bellarie, but Horace’s family is not done challenging her. His children, brother, and ex-wife are all determined to push her out, and Mallory (Crystle Stewart) – the previous head of Beauty in Black – is not backing down either, reports People.

“Mallory doesn’t do ‘nice’ for very long. Once she realizes Kimmie isn’t impressed or intimidated by her charm, that mask is going to slip fast,” Stewart told People.

Williams pointed to Kimmie’s transformation as a personal highlight. “Her confidence really stems from Horace. He believed in her from the start … Now we are finally watching her step into that power, and it is so fun to play,” she said. Expect sharper rivalries, deeper betrayals, and a high-stakes showdown between Kimmie and Mallory when part 2 arrives.
