Part 1 of the series, which premiered on October 24, 2024, debuted at #1 and quickly amassed over 8.7 million views, remaining in the Top 10 for consecutive weeks. Part 1 also held the coveted #1 spot across 28 countries. Part 1 of Season 2 set the stakes even higher, dethroning Netflix's 'Wednesday' as a top-watched show. Produced by Tyler Perry, 'Beauty in Black' also stars Taylor Polidore Williams (Kimmie), Crystle Stewart (Mallory), Amber Reign Smith (Rain), Xavier Smalls (Angel), Charles Malik Whitfield (Jules), Debbi Morgan (Olivia) and more.
Expanding her résumé, Tippen will also appear in Paramount+'s upcoming original drama 'Route 187,' further showcasing her versatility as an actress. The highly anticipated series adds another major streaming credit to her body of work as she continues to establish herself as one of television's promising young talents. The four-part mystery drama follows the reaction a community has to the brutal murders of a bus driver and high school student, including an investigation that uncovers more information regarding disappearances of local Black women. Chris Livingston (DOWN BELOW), Elijah Collins ('Landman'), Tonia Jackson ('Outer Banks'), Rico Ball (BET's 'Divorced Sistas'), Lawrence Robinson ('The Pitt'), Rona Dana ('Meet the Browns'), Cuyle Carvin (DISCLOSURE DAY), and more round out the cast.
