Beauty in Black Season 2: Power, Money, and Chaos Are Back on September 11, 2025!

Okay, friends, grab your snacks and a comfy chair, because Beauty in Black Season 2 is almost here, on September 11, on Netflix. It promises even more drama, intrigue, and jaw-dropping moves than the first season. Yes, like before, there’s plenty of time to soak in the chaos, bringing the signature mix of charm and edge.

The spotlight this season belongs to Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams). She’s officially the new woman in charge, married to businessman Horace Bellarie (Ricco Ross), and now leading the Beauty in Black makeup empire.

Can we talk about power moves? Watching her navigate ambition, legacy, vengeance, and influence is like getting a masterclass in “how money and clout shape every decision.”

Here’s the fun part: while Tyler Perry drew inspiration from Atlanta’s dual strip clubs in the ’90s and knows the families behind some real-life hair-care dynasties, he stresses the story itself is pure fiction meant to entertain. And entertain it does. The glitzy, high-stakes business world collides with the gritty underground life in ways that are messy, morally complicated, and ridiculously bingeable.

Enter Jules (Charles Malik Whitfield): proud husband and father…with a seriously dark side playing everyone and faking loyalty to whoever is in front of him. After getting Kimmie, Angel (Xavier Smalls), and Rain (Amber Reign) off drug charges, he forces them to “repay their debts” through sex work at Delinda’s Dolls and Dudes strip club in Chicago. He confiscates every dollar they earn. Yep. Your heart will break a little, your jaw might drop a lot, and you’ll probably whisper, “No way. Not again…”

Watching this unfold is brutal but insightful. It’s a stark look at how greed and control operate behind the scenes within close circles and communities. If I have to bet, now that she is emboldened with her new status, he will most likely be one of the first ones Kimmie will come after with a vengeful force that will hit hard in season 2.

But don’t get too comfortable, Kimmie, Roy (Julian Horton), and Mallory (Crystle Stewart) are lurking in the wings. Roy’s charm hides sharp manipulation, while Mallory’s unpredictability makes her dangerous in ways you can’t always see coming. Add in the family lawyer Varney (Terrell Carter), whose loyalty could shift with the wind, and other family members who might play both sides… Season 2 isn’t just about revenge; it’s about knowing whom to trust, and when to strike.

It’s like the series is winking at you: “Life’s messy, but keep your eyes open. What goes around comes around. Don’t overestimate your enemies.”

Prediction: Kimmie’s going to have to play 3D chess with everyone around her. Jules will be her first target, Roy her most subtle threat, and Mallory the wildcard who could either help or hurt at the worst possible moment. Expect alliances to shift, secrets to leak, and the family lawyer to hold cards that could change everything in a single scene.

Honestly, Beauty in Black is a masterclass in addictive storytelling. It’s both light and deep, with bold and realistic dialogue. You’ll cheer, groan, and gasp, and maybe even learn a thing or two about human nature and how close ties can bind, shape, or break you. Betrayal often comes from people we love, as does deception in those we expect more from than they can deliver.

If you’re a fan of shows like Power, you’ll see the same high-stakes ambition and morally gray characters. Beauty in Black brings its own flavor, exploring kinship, legacy, and hidden corners of the business. And if you loved Empire, with its dynasty-building and family drama, you’ll recognize a similar pulse here. Again, Beauty in Black leans into the raw, rough edges of survival in ways that feel unique. Maybe Power has the swagger, Empire has the glitz, but Beauty in Black has the heart, depth, and messy humanity that make it unforgettable.

So, circle September 11th on your calendar. Get ready to watch the kind of moral messiness that makes you want to text all your friends and say, “You HAVE to see this.”

Season 2’s game is clear: Kimmie rises, but every victory has a price. Watch her navigate the treacherous waters of relationships, power, and loyalty because in this world, even the closest smiles can hide daggers.
