Netflix is set to unveil another intriguing production from Tyler Perry, aptly named Beauty in Black. Taking place in Atlanta, this Netflix original series revolves around the lives of two women from starkly different backgrounds whose paths unexpectedly cross in a high-stakes environment filled with deception, corruption, and wealth. True to Perry’s signature style, the narrative is likely to include rich family dynamics that promise shocking revelations and unexpected narrative turns.
The streaming giant has released a teaser trailer for Tyler Perry’s anticipated drama series, along with essential details about the plot and release schedule. Here is the latest information regarding this upcoming show.
How to Watch Beauty in Black: Release Details
Beauty in Black comprises 16 episodes which will be launched on Netflix in two segments. The first part is set to premiere on Thursday, October 24, 2024, while the date for the second part has yet to be announced. Each episode is projected to last approximately one hour and can be viewed exclusively on Netflix.
What’s the Series About?
This new series is a component of Perry’s ongoing collaboration with Netflix, where he has secured a multi-year first-look deal to write, direct, and produce content, including the recent film, Mea Culpa, which debuted in February.
Beauty in Black follows two women from vastly different backgrounds who unexpectedly become entwined in each other’s lives. Taylor Polidore Williams takes on the role of Kimmie, a young woman doing her best to survive after being expelled from her home, while Crystle Stewart portrays Mallory, a thriving businesswoman.
Although their chances of meeting seem minimal, they soon find their lives interconnected.
Set against the backdrop of Atlanta, the series delves into the connections between a prosperous Black family in the haircare sector and an exotic dancer navigating the dark realities of the renowned Magic City strip club.
Tyler Perry drew inspiration for the series from the dual strip club culture prevalent in Atlanta during the 1990s, and he brings firsthand experience with families involved in actual haircare empires. He explained to Netflix’s Tudum that while the story of Beauty in Black is entirely fictional, it is crafted to engage and entertain the audience.
