Here is a Beauty in Black Season 2 cast and character guide
The Club Crew of Beauty in Black Season 2: Kimmie, Rain, and Angel
The club members are also in the limelight of the show plotlines, as Kimmie, Rain, and Angel keep struggling to fit in personal aspirations with the addition of the Bellarie family.
Kimmie is portrayed by Taylor Polidore Williams in Beauty in Black Season 2
Kimmie is an ambitious stripper. She looks up to Mallory, but the two worlds don't go along, and Kimmie has to cope with something she never anticipated. She tries to maintain her independence as she becomes part of Bellarie's world, torn between being loyal to her girlfriends and the demands of ambition.
This season will see her come of age as she confronts moral issues and the repercussions of decisions made in pursuit of success.
Rain, played by Amber Reign Smith in Beauty in Black Season 2
Rain is Kimmie's confidante and emotional support, quasi-sister. Due to their intimate bond, they have managed to survive adverse times, but in Season 2, Rain experiences a life-altering accident that tests her strength and elicits Kimmie's commitment.
Rain's character also delves into friendship, strength, and the price of commitment to someone as one faces life's challenges. She still belongs to the triad that operates the club's twisted pecking order as well as the Bellarie family's illegal business.
Xavier Smalls as Angel in Beauty in Black Season 2
Angel never lets up on using his brains in attempting to survive, and he is one of the most important members of the triad club. When he needs Kimmie to help him serve a client, his own life also gets entangled with the Bellaries, bringing him into the political and familial power struggle.
Angel's tale is a rehashing of themes of ambition, responsibility, and what occurs when a life gets tangled up with the life of a family as powerful and enigmatic as the Bellaries. His Season 2 plot is a rehash of the manner in which his own actions send a ripple throughout his own life and the lives of others.
The Bellarie Family: Legacy, secrets, power
The Bellaries remain in control of their business, family, and powers.
Roy is married to Mallory and has been at the forefront of the Beauty in Black enterprise. Ambitious, strategic, and braver as a player in the family business, she is not to be underestimated during Season 2. Her personality allows her to exhibit her home conflict, work conflict, and stress as a Bellarie.
Mallory's arc also addresses how power plays out in her own life, her moral decision-making, and how she can wield power in a family of deception and subterfuge.
Ricco Ross as Horace in Beauty in Black Season 2
Horace, the leader of the Bellarie clan, still has a total hold on the company and family affairs. Having established Beauty in Black, his control is seen in everything that is done since decisions are made, with other members of the family being forced to bow to his plans most of the time.
Season 2 speaks to the issue that Horace cannot defend his empire from children and siblings in wars because it speaks to inheritance, control, and leadership burden.
Debbi Morgan as Olivia in Beauty in Black Season 2
Olivia, Horace's ex-wife and the mother of his two sons, has a stake in the family business but only vestigial authority. She is focused on being the voice of her children as she tries to work out her dysfunctional relationship with Horace.
Olivia's story for most of Season 2 examines how vestigial power, personal pride, and vestigial loyalties affect her relationships with the family and the business.
Richard Lawson as Norman in Beauty in Black Season 2
Norman, Horace's brother, wants his share of family money through unorthodox or less than orthodox means. Norman is a foil and tension to Horace's rule, and continually provides challenges to the rest of the family.
Season 2 will delve into Norman's wants, his moral looseness, and how his actions affect the business and relationships within the Bellarie family.
Steven G. Norfleet as Charles in Beauty in Black Season 2
Horace's boy Charles is more committed to working for the company than to partying and playing. He is also involved in some of the Bellaries' criminal endeavors.
Season 2 deals with Charles' battle with responsibility, attitudes towards the rest of the family, and the repercussions of prioritizing self-indulgence over family obligation.
Julian Horton as Roy in Beauty in Black Season 2
Roy, Mallory's husband, grapples with pleasing his dad and saving his marriage. His choices, including infidelity, still affect how he relates to Mallory and where he stands in the Bellarie empire.
Season 2 is Roy's balancing act of family loyalty, marital tension, and his attempt to build his own power in the Bellarie empire.
The Staff: Security, legal, and law enforcement
Supporting characters are the business as usual of the Bellarie family, offering security, law, and loyalty.
Charles Malik Whitfield as Jules in Beauty in Black Season 2
Jules, head of security of the Bellary family, is especially attuned to family weaknesses and secrets. He must protect and remain silent, in so many ways, in the family kingdom.
Season 2 builds on Jules' role of threat guarding, keeping it all together, and treading loyalty and moral lines.
Terrell Carter as Varney in Beauty in Black Season 2
Varney, a lawyer to the family, handles complicated legal matters and has hidden allegiances within the Bellarie syndicate. He lives a dual life that is the cause of stress and disharmony because some members of the family are unaware of his concealed business activities.
Season 2 details how Varney's calculated steps bring power games within the family and frame long-term destinies.
Bryan Tanaka as Officer Alex in Beauty in Black Season 2
Officer Alex is a police officer in Chicago who serves the Bellaries and must balance police responsibility and family obligation as a person. Season 2 demonstrates how challenging it is to serve under double allegiance and how his actions reflect on law enforcement and the business of the Bellaries.
Beauty in Black Season 2 remains true to power struggles, personal ambition, and harvesting what one has sown. The characters are faced with grueling moral dilemmas, shifting family dynamics, and life-and-death battles, all set against the background of the construction of the Bellarie empire.
Season 2 follows on from the multi-level plot strands of Season 1, exploring relationship dynamics, loyalty, and battling to retain power in a world of secrets and agendas.
