Tyler Perry's Beauty In Black Part 1 dropped on Netflix on October 24, 2024. The show is under Perry's creative partnership with Netflix, which has been successful with the recent release of Mea Culpa.
While fans are counting the days to Part 2, which will drop somewhere in Spring next year, Beauty in Black has already succeeded on the platform. The show stars Taylor Polidore Williams, Crystle Stewart as Mallory, Amber Reign Smith, Ricco Ross, Debbi Morgan, and Richard Lawson.
Perry reportedly had complete faith in his cast and crew, some of which also featured in his past projects. The story follows two women, Kimmie, a stripper, and Mallory, a businesswoman, and the trajectories their lives follow after their worlds collide.
Perry bought the best of both worlds in Beauty In Black, with Atlanta's strip club colliding with the hair care business.
Here are all the filming locations for Beauty In Black.
Beauty In Black filming locations
The story of Kimmie and Mallory is set in Atlanta. Perry wanted to capture the role of the city in these two women's lives, which is why the cinematography beautifully captures the nightlife of Atlanta.
The show's shooting was primarily done in Atlanta, Georgia, with some scenes also shot in Chicago, Illinois.
1. Atlanta, Georgia
Tyler Perry constructed his studio on 330 acres of land at 315 Deshler Street Southwest, Atlanta. The movie's primary shooting took place at Tyler Perry Studios, where primary offices and hospital scenes were shot.
The studios have 12 soundstages, ranging from 10,000 to 38,500 square feet. They also have built-in sets of offices, airplane interiors, and mansions, many of which can be seen in key scenes in the show.
Mallory can be seen having a family meeting at the sleek office table, which was shot at Perry Studios.
Apart from this, another essential filming location for the show is Hotel Atlanta Marriott Marquis. This hotel in downtown Atlanta adds a lavish vibe while Kimmie walks with her friends.
2. Chicago, Illinois
Chicago's Iconic skyline is used in many movies and shows, such as The Batman Series, Euphoria, and Shameless. The tall buildings and bustling neighborhoods are a favorite filming spot.
The aerial shots of Chicago Skyline can be seen, even in the trailer for Beauty In Black. The show also uses tall glass skyscrapers to showcase the wealth and power of the haircare business family.
When will Beauty In Black Part 2 be released?
Fans eagerly await the show's return with Part 2 after the finale of Part 1, in which Kimmie's sister is kidnapped by Body. The show ends with Kimmie railing her car into Body and trapping her between two bumpers.
Part 2 will be a major change for Kimmie, who will finally take charge of her life. While talking about the show's future, Perry said that he wanted to leave the audience wanting more (which he did). While he did not reveal much about the future story, a change in Kimmie's gear can be expected.
While Beauty In Black Part has no official release date2, the show will return sometime in Spring 2025.
