Editors note: This post contains spoilers about Season 1 of “Beauty in Black”
In Tyler Perry’s “Beauty in Black,” what happens when the underdog climbs to the top?
Fans may find out more in the second season of the hit Netflix drama, which Perry teased on Instagram Sunday. His post included a photo of now ex-exotic dancer Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) dressed in business attire before her former boss, Jules (Charles Malik Whitfield).
“YALL AINT READY FOR SEASON 2 of #BeautyInBlack !!” he wrote. “Thanks for making season one HUGE!”
Netflix released the show in two parts, dropping the first installment in October and the remaining episodes earlier this month. The series follows Kimmie as her life becomes deeply intersected with a wealthy but chaotic family that runs a successful hair care business in Chicago.
In the jaw-dropping final episode, Kimmie − a survivor of human trafficking and abuse − makes a major play by agreeing to marry the head of the household, Horace, who is hospitalized, and makes a quick decision to spite his family.
“I don’t think anybody’s going to be able to figure out where it’s going and how that rise of power happens with Kimmie,” Perry told Netflix before the release of Part 2.
Is ‘Beauty in Black’ returning for Season 2?
“Beauty in Black” has not officially been renewed for Season 2 by Netflix, though Perry’s post indicates he has plans for additional episodes.
USA TODAY has reached out to Netflix for comment.
