Chaotic and messy Netflix drama loved by fans confirms return date with first look at season 3

Beauty in Black, the Netflix drama/soap opera from prolific creator Tyler Perry, has just confirmed when it will be back for a third season.

The series centers on Kimmie, an exotic dancer hoping to turn her life around. She lands an apprenticeship at a beauty company owned by a rich, but troubled, family โ€“ and quickly finds herself in a much more complicated and risky situation than before.

The third season will premiere on Netflix on Thursday 27 August.

This new season is launching around the same time as the previous ones, which came out in October and September. Like those seasons, it will also be released in two parts, with eight episodes dropping in March.

Netflix has announced season three of Beauty in Black, but hasn’t said if it will be released in two parts like previous seasons. They’ve only stated the new season will premiere on August 27th.

What to Read Next

We do know that in season three, Kimmie, now at the peak of her success, will face her biggest challenges yet.

According to Taylor Polidore Williams, who plays Kimmie, the next season will show Kimmie truly coming into her own, with the help she needs. The last six episodes will explore whether she can hold onto that strength.

Crystle Stewart, who plays Mallory, says the show’s conflicts and challenges will become even more intense, and characters will face their biggest tests yet.

With the announcement that season three of Beauty in Black will be available on Netflix in August, new photos have also been released, showing that familiar faces like Charles Bellarie, Alex, and Trackson will be back.

We also know the show will continue beyond season three, because a fourth season has already been approved.


The show hasn’t been well-received by critics, but it is a big hit with viewers โ€” as evidenced by the early season four renewal.

User reviews suggest that Beauty in Black might be enjoyably terrible โ€“ the kind of show people love to watch despite its flaws. One viewer described it as a wildly dramatic and gossipy series, while another called it a thrilling, over-the-top rollercoaster.

Beauty in Black season 3 premieres on Netflix on 27 August.
