Beauty in Black is an American drama series created by Tyler Perry, starring Crystle Stewart and Taylor Polidore Williams as two women from vastly different worlds—one a stripper trapped with a violent pimp, the other a successful hair care CEO stuck in a loveless marriage. The show premiered on Netflix in two parts, with Season 1 Part 1 debuting on October 24, 2024, and Part 2 on March 6, 2025, followed by Season 2 in September 2025 and March 2026. Produced under Perry's multi-year first-look deal with Netflix, the series was renewed for a third season in December 2025 and a fourth and final season in July 2026. While the show received negative reviews from critics—The Guardian gave it one star, and Decider called it "as subtle as a slap in the face"—it proved a massive hit with audiences, spending four weeks in Netflix's Top 10 and reaching No. 1 in 28 countries. Despite the critical backlash, the show's popularity secured its future, with the final season set to conclude the story of these two contrasting women.
