The first look of Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black has arrived.
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, Netflix unveiled the first trailer for the famed director’s latest series.
The action-packed teaser kicks off with Mallory (Crystle Stewart) strutting out of a lavish mansion. She makes impressive moves throughout the video like speaking to an audience of women. She certainly has Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) intrigued as Kimmie walks through a large venue and points out, “Her family owns all of this. Wonder what her life is like.”
“I bet she ain’t stayin’ in no pay-by-the-week hotel,” one of Kimmie’s friends quips.

Though Kimmie and Mallory’s worlds couldn’t be more different, they’ll soon collide in the explosive trailer, which shows one person getting slapped and another appearing to be struck by a truck.
One character sums it up as, “Beautiful and deadly,” to which Mallory responds, “Beauty in black baby.”
Per an official synopsis, the series “follows two women leading very different lives. While Kimmie is struggling to make a living after her mother kicked her out, and Mallory is running a successful business, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.”
