Netflix may have renewed The perfect couple and Beauty in black In Season 2, according to two reports from Variety, although both shows received a seriously mixed reception from both critics and fans.
Of course, TV shows are subjective, but given Netflix, several shows with over 80% rotten Tomato’s approval assessments in 2024 canceled why some fans could feel frustrated with the news that these two series with much lower ratings managed to escape to get axis.
Despite being originally fascinated by The perfect couple After seeing Trailer, I ended up feeling weakened by the Netflix adaptation. I’m not full of hope that another season would work better as it didn’t score much enough to be considered for our best Netflix shows Roundup. While I have not personally seen Beauty in blackIt has a 56% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, so it seems that fans were not excited about Tyler Perry’s drama series.
This raises questions about why Netflix is reportedly choosing to renew two badly appeared shows and not celebrated (I still haven’t forgiven them for Lockwood & co Cancellation).
What do we know about the perfect couple and beauty in black renewals?
According to Variety Beauty in black Was renewed very shortly after season 1 part 2 arrived on one of the best streaming services. Netflix has reportedly confirmed Season 2 will be released in two parts, something that seems to be more and more common (recently, Cobra Kai Season 6 was divided into three parts).
The confirmation of the news said creator Tyler Perry: “We left fans on the edge of their seats at the end of season 1, and we are happy to continue Kimmie’s journey as she enters her power as the latest member of the Bellaire family.
Elsewhere, Variety reports that The perfect couple Could return to season 2 after sources suggested that Netflix is developing another season, based on the Elin Hilderbrand -novel Swan Song. This means that it would be an anthology rather than a direct successor as it focuses on a new story.
It is potentially good news for anyone who enjoyed both shows if they end up being renewed, but it raises the question why exactly some Netflix shows are canceled over others. For example, Techradar’s Grace Morris was not surprised by that Sandman Was Netflix’s first canceled show of 2025 but I couldn’t say the same for the potential renewal of The perfect couple or Beauty in black.
