ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
Production is underway in Atlanta for Season 4 of Tyler Perry’s Netflix series Beauty in Black. Netflix confirmed the news in an announcement reported by The Futon Critic on October 21.
The update brings another season of the series into production in the city. So far, the confirmed details are limited: Season 4 has started production, and that production is taking place in Atlanta. No premiere date, episode count, or cast information is included in the announcement.
Season 4 production begins
Netflix’s announcement identifies Atlanta, Georgia, as the production location for the fourth season. The Futon Critic report says further Season 4 information will be shared later.
That makes the production start the central news for now. The announcement confirms the series is moving into its next production phase, but does not identify a specific studio or filming address. It also does not provide a schedule for how long production will continue.
The distinction matters for readers following entertainment news. A production start is a meaningful update, but it is not the same as a release announcement. It does not, by itself, confirm when a season will arrive on Netflix or what viewers can expect from its episodes.
Atlanta remains part of Tyler Perry’s production base
Atlanta has a continuing connection to Tyler Perry’s work. Perry produces much of his work in the city at his own studio complex, making the new season’s Atlanta production part of a wider, established local production context.
The announcement, however, does not say that Beauty in Black is filming at that complex. It confirms Atlanta as the production location, but does not provide a more precise location. Keeping those details separate helps clarify what is known without assuming where the crew is working.
For Atlanta’s film and television community, production news like this keeps the city in focus as a place where major entertainment projects are made. It is also a reminder that productions can be rooted locally even when they reach audiences around the world through streaming. The confirmed information here is specific: Beauty in Black Season 4 is in production in Atlanta.
What the announcement confirms
The Netflix update confirms that the series is Beauty in Black, that this is Season 4, and that production has kicked off in Atlanta. The Futon Critic reports the announcement date as October 21, 2026.
The announcement does not provide further production details. It does not name a filming site, specify how many episodes are planned, or announce a premiere date. It also does not confirm which performers appear in the season. Those details remain outside the information confirmed in this update.
For that reason, this report stays focused on the production start and location. Any additional information about the season can be considered once it is publicly announced by Netflix or another reliable source. Until then, the most accurate update is that the new season is underway in Atlanta.
A local production update for Atlanta viewers
The city’s role in the announcement makes the news relevant to Atlanta audiences and the broader Georgia entertainment community. Viewers can follow the progress of the series while local creatives and production professionals take note of another project working in the area.
The update also reflects a familiar connection between Atlanta and Tyler Perry’s production work. Perry makes much of his work in Atlanta, and the city’s presence in the announcement places Season 4 within that broader local context. The current report does not add a specific facility or neighborhood, so we are not identifying one.
As the season moves through production, additional verified details may become available. For now, the news is clear and concise: Beauty in Black is back in production, and Atlanta is its confirmed production location.
