Tyler Perry’s hit drama series Beauty in Black returns to Netflix on August 27, 2026, bringing a brand new wave of explosive drama, jaw-dropping betrayals, and high-stakes tension to your screen.
High Stakes and Unfiltered Drama
Beauty in Black follows the intersecting lives of two women who could not be more different: Kimmie (played brilliantly by Taylor Polidore Williams), a resilient young woman trying to rebuild her life after being kicked out by her mother, and Mallory (portrayed by Crystle Stewart), a ruthless executive running a lucrative beauty empire and a dark dark-market operation.
As the story unfolds, the power struggle within the wealthy Bellarie family explodes into blackmail, deception, and betrayal. Supported by an all-star ensemble including Debbi Morgan (Olivia), Ricco Ross (Horace), Steven G. Norfleet (Charles), Julian Horton (Roy), Amber Reign Smith (Rain), and Xavier Smalls (Angel), the tension never lets up for a single episode.
Terrell Carter Shines as Attorney Varney
When We Speak TV has been long-time supporters of Terrell Carter, so watching him step into the role of the sharp, calculating attorney Varney on Beauty in Black has been an absolute thrill. Our connection with him goes back to when we first interviewed Terrell Carter early in his journey, and we even treasure a copy of his book, Problem Child, that he personally signed for us. We even caught up with him on the red carpet at the Living Legends Foundation Awards Gala in 2025. Always great to SPEAK with him.
As Varney, Terrell navigates the high-stakes, messy legal battles of the Bellarie family with a magnetic intensity that delivers some of the show’s most talked-about scenes.
