Season 2 opens just after Bellarie patriarch Horace marries Kimmie in a ploy to leave her his inheritance — she is the only person he trusts. “Sons, this is your new stepmother,” he tells his shocked heirs, Roy (Julian Horton) and Charles (Steven G. Norfleet), from his hospital bed. “Oh yes — and she’s also your new boss.”
This doesn’t sit well with the rest of the wealthy family, either — particularly his beauty mogul daughter-in-law, Mallory (Crystle Stewart); his ex-wife, Olivia (Debbi Morgan); and his brother, Norman (Richard Lawson). We can’t forget Bellarie head of security Jules (Charles Malik Whitfield), Kimmie’s former boss, who you’d better believe didn’t see this coming.
“By the end of Season 1, Kimmie is on the verge of discovering a whole new level of power,” Williams previously told Tudum.
In Part 1 of Season 2, Kimmie is eagerly awaiting her chance to step into her power. “Kimmie wants to be seen as legitimate. She is done proving she belongs, and she’s claiming her place,” Williams tells Tudum. “The difference now is that she understands the cost of power, and she confidently chooses it anyway.”
Perry adds, “Kimmie exemplifies the spirit of never underestimating the underdog, and I can’t wait for fans to continue to see her story unfold.”
As the stakes get higher, Kimmie’s fierce loyalty to her family, including her BFF Rain (Amber Reign Smith) and little sister Sylvie (Bailey Tippen), remains consistent. “It’s only when the people she loves are affected that she taps into her true power. We see that begin to surface after Rain gets hurt, but it fully shifts when her sister is pulled into this world” says Williams. And now with the power of the Bellarie name behind her, there’s nothing stopping Kimmie from taking what’s hers.
Get into all the Beauty in Black drama now, with more Season 2 updates headed to Tudum. Season 2, Part 2 premieres March 19.
