Director: Tyler Perry
Two women on opposite ends of survival find their lives colliding in Beauty in Black, Tyler Perry's 2024 drama series now available on K-Time with Farsi dubbing and subtitles.
What is Beauty in Black about?
Kimmie is thrown out by her own mother and has nothing left to fall back on; she has to figure out how to survive with no safety net. Mallory, meanwhile, runs a thriving beauty company and appears to have everything figured out from the outside. Their paths cross in ways neither expects, pulling both women into a web of family loyalty, betrayal, and secrets tied to Mallory's business and the people around it. As the season unfolds, the line between victim and schemer blurs repeatedly, and neither woman's situation is quite what it first looks like. Tyler Perry writes and directs with the melodrama-plus-social-commentary style his television work is known for, layering soap-opera twists over questions about class, family obligation, and what people will do to protect what they've built.
Cast & crew
Taylor Polidore anchors the series as Kimmie, carrying much of the show's emotional weight, while Crystle Stewart plays Mallory with a controlled, businesslike exterior that cracks as the plot advances. Amber Reign Smith, Xavier Smalls, and Julian Horton fill out the extended cast of family members and rivals, and Richard Lawson brings decades of screen experience to a key supporting role.
Context & significance
Beauty in Black premiered in 2024 as part of Tyler Perry's ongoing run of television dramas built around Black family life, ambition, and betrayal. The show holds a 5.7 rating on IMDb, typical of Perry's television output, where audience engagement often runs higher than critical scores suggest. Each episode runs about 49 minutes, giving the drama room to build out its ensemble cast and multiple overlapping storylines.
