- Beauty in Black Season 3 premieres August 27, with first-look photos released alongside the date announcement
- Netflix renewed the Tyler Perry series for a fourth season, reversing late-last-year plans to wrap the show after Season 3
- Tyler Perry creates, directs, writes, and executive produces the series, which centers on Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams), a former sex worker turned vengeance-driven force, and Mallory (Crystle Stewart), who runs a successful business
- Season 3 finds Kimmie with a seat at the Bellarie table but forced into an uneasy alliance with Mallory when a deadly family feud erupts over blackmail, revenge, and buried secrets
- Season 2 built toward Kimmie trying to rescue her kidnapped sister from a family running both a beauty brand and an underground trafficking ring
- Angi Bones and Tony Strickland produce for Tyler Perry Studios, with music by Wow Jones & Jimijame$
Why it matters: The fourth-season renewal is the real story here — Netflix just reversed its own publicly stated plan to end the show after Season 3, giving the streamer more episodes of an established Tyler Perry franchise to monetize rather than letting the Bellarie saga conclude on a planned finale.
