Netflix has released the official trailer and key art for Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black. Part 1 of the 16-episode drama series hits Netflix on October 24.
Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black follows two women leading very different lives. While Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) is struggling to make a living after her mother kicked her out, and Mallory (Crystle Stewart) is running a successful business, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.
The cast includes Taylor Polidore Williams as Kimmie, Crystle Stewart as Mallory, Amber Reign Smith as Rain, Ricco Ross as Horace, Debbi Morgan as Olivia, Richard Lawson as Norman, Steven G. Norfleet as Charles, Julian Horton as Roy, and Terrell Carter as Varney.
The cast list continues with Shannon Wallace as Calvin, Bryan Tanaka as Officer Alex, Joy Rovaris as Gillian, Xavier Smalls as Angel, Charles Malik Whitfield as Jules, Tamera “Tee” Kissen as Body, Ursula O. Robinson as Delinda, Ashley Versher as Lena, and George Middlebrook as Officer Trackson.
Tyler Perry is the creator, director, writer, and executive producer. “The hair care business here is huge [and] Magic City is huge, and I was like, ‘What happened if those worlds collided — the stripper world and this hair care business?” Perry told Netflix blog Tudum, adding that the takeaway from Part 1 of the series is, “Never ever underestimate the power of the underdog.”
The producers include Will Areu, Angi Bones and Tony L. Strickland for Tyler Perry Studios. The hair department Head is Shornell Young, and the make-up department head is Syretta Bell. The costume designer is Raiyonda Vereen, and the music is by Wow Jones & JimiJame$.
