The drama continues and the stakes are higher than ever in Beauty in Black Season 2 Part 2. After the bombshell ascent of Kimmie into the inner circle of the Bellarie empire in Part 1, Netflix’s hard-hitting soap from Tyler Perry now turns its gaze on what happens when the boardroom is filled with enemies rather than friends.
With Kimmie (played by Taylor Polidore Williams) now legitimately wed into the Bellarie dynasty and betrayed loyalties bubbling everywhere, Part 2 promises to peer deep into ambition, legacy, and the cost of power. If you thought the first half of Season 2 already shook the table, buckle up: the second half is designed to overturn it.

What happens in Beauty in Black Season 2 Part 2?
At the end of Part 1 of Season 2, Kimmie has been catapulted into the role of Bellarie heir through her marriage to Horace — and the family’s cosmetics empire is now technically under her control. But the Bellarie family isn’t standing by quietly. His ex-wife, rebellious sons, scheming daughter-in-law, and brother all have their sights on the throne.
Part 2 is expected to focus on Kimmie’s navigation of her new power, the pushback from the Bellarie family, and the consequences of past scandals catching up with everyone. Most importantly, it charts Kimmie’s transformation from outsider to insider — and asks what she’ll lose to keep it all.
