Netflix Reverses Course and Renews Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black for Season 4

Netflix says the show’s strong global viewership prompted the streamer to greenlight more Bellarie family stories.

Overview

  • Netflix announced the Season 4 renewal on Thursday, July 23, 2026, reversing its December 2025 statement that Season 3 would be the series’ final season.
  • Season 3 is still pending release and no date has been announced for its premiere.
  • Netflix cited Season 2’s performance — six weeks in the Global Top 10 and a No. 1 ranking in 17 countries — as a key reason for continuing the series.
  • Creator Tyler Perry, who writes, directs, and executive produces Beauty in Black, confirmed he will keep telling the Bellarie family story and said more episodes are planned.
  • The show has released past seasons in multi-part batches and features a large ensemble cast led by Taylor Polidore Williams and Crystle Stewart, so viewers should watch for a Season 3 release date and early details about the newly ordered fourth season.
