The cast for Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black has been set. The drama series, the first under Perry’s new multi-year first-look series deal with Netflix, will have 16 episodes which will be written, directed, and produced by Perry.
Netflix revealed more about the plot of the series and its cast via TUDUM:
The 16-episode hour-long drama follows two women on very different paths. Taylor Polidore Williams (Divorce in the Black, Snowfall) will play Kimmie, who struggles to make ends meet after her mother kicks her out, while Mallory — played by Crystle Stewart (Tyler Perry’s The Oval; Acrimony) — finds success running her own business. Eventually, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives. Angi Bones and Tony Strickland will also produce the series for Tyler Perry Studios.
