Tyler Perry’s “Beauty in Black” has been picked up for its third and final season at Netflix.
The renewal comes months ahead of the release of the series’ Season 2, Part 2 debut. “Beauty in Black” will pick back up on March 19 with eight more episodes to conclude the second season.
After Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), the once unassuming sex worker, seized control of the family beauty business at the end of Season 2, Part 1, she will be the one calling the shots. Now, the Bellarie family must follow her rules after she inherited sole ownership of the company.
Williams will return to star in the series alongside Crystle Stewart, Amber Reign Smith, Xavier Smalls, Ricco Ross, Julian Horton, Steven G. Norfleet, Richard Lawson, Terrell Carter, Bryan Tanaka, Charles Malik Whitfield and Debbi Morgan.
Netflix revealed first look images of Part 2 of the season, depicting rising tensions between Kimmie and the Bellarie’s as the family’s criminal history bubbles to the surface.
