Tyler Perry is back with another thrilling drama centering on two women whose contrasting lives collide on an explosive journey that uncovers the dark secrets of a wealthy family.

The 16-episode series premieres Thursday and is the latest project to emerge from Perry's creative, multi-year deal with Netflix. The show was written, produced and directed by Perry. Beauty in Black will be a two-part series and the first part is available to stream now.

“I've been told many times over many years that black entertainment doesn't travel around the world,” Perry told Netflix's Tudum. “So it’s been phenomenal that Netflix continues to disprove that with everything I’ve put on the platform.”

The supporting cast includes Amber Reign Smith as Rain, Steven G. Norfleet as Charles, Julian Horton as Roy, Terrell Carter as Varney, Shannon Wallace as Calvin, Bryan Tanaka as Officer Alex, Joy Rovaris as Gillian, Xavier Smalls as Angel and Charles Malik Whitfield as Jules, Tamera “Tee” Pillow as Bodysuit, Ursula O.
