Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black Premieres Oct. 24

Tyler Perry's first original series for Netflix, 'Beauty in Black,' is set to premiere on October 24 and follows the contrasting lives of two women, Kimmie and Mallory, whose paths intersect despite their vastly different circumstances. Kimmie, portrayed by Taylor Polidore Williams, struggles to make ends meet after being kicked out by her mother, while Crystle Stewart's Mallory enjoys success as a business owner. The 16-episode drama, which includes elements of intrigue, romance, and scandal, is both written and directed by Perry, who has a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix. The series features a diverse cast, including Amber Reign Smith, Ricco Ross, and Debbi Morgan, and is produced by Tyler Perry Studios. This launch follows Perry's previous film collaborations with the platform, marking a significant expansion of his television presence on Netflix.
