Tyler Perry’s new series, Beauty in Black, is poised to create a stir on Netflix, and the first look hints at an exhilarating journey ahead. On September 24, the streaming platform released the official trailer for the much-anticipated show, providing a sneak peek into its action-filled narrative.
The trailer opens with Mallory, portrayed by Crystle Stewart, confidently exiting a stunning mansion, immediately capturing the attention of those around her. Addressing a gathering of women, Mallory exudes an undeniable presence. In contrast, Kimmie (played by Taylor Polidore Williams) finds herself fascinated by Mallory’s affluent lifestyle. As Kimmie walks through an opulent venue, she muses, “Her family owns all of this. I wonder what her life is like.”

A friend quickly retorts with a sharp comment: “I bet she ain’t stayin’ in no pay-by-the-week hotel.” The trailer teases the impending collision of their vastly different worlds, hinting at an entanglement filled with drama. It features a series of gripping moments, including a slap and a character being hit by a truck. In a particularly charged exchange, one character encapsulates the tension with the phrase, “Beautiful and deadly,” to which Mallory fiercely replies, “Beauty in black, baby.”
According to the official synopsis, Beauty in Black revolves around two women living starkly different lives. Kimmie is struggling to get by after being kicked out by her mother, while Mallory leads a successful business. Despite their contrasting circumstances, their lives intersect in unexpected ways.

Produced by Will Areu, Angi Bones, and Tony L. Strickland for Tyler Perry Studios, Beauty in Black is part of Perry’s multi-year first-look agreement with Netflix. This partnership has previously delivered films like A Jazzman’s Blues, A Madea Homecoming (2022), and A Fall from Grace (2020).
