Netflix shared the Beauty in Black teaser trailer for the upcoming 16-episode drama series, which hails from Tyler Perry. This marks the first-ever series that Perry has created for Netflix, four years after they first started collaborating on Perry’s A Fall From Grace movie.
“The series follows two women leading very different lives,” reads the logline. “While Kimmie is struggling to make ends meet after her mother kicked her out, and Mallory finds success running her own business. Eventually, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.”
