Savage Beauty parents guide and age rating
Savage Beauty is rated TV-MA, so only mature audiences should be watching the series. It was given a TV-MA rating due to content being shown in the show that many parents would consider inappropriate for younger kids. Some of the inappropriate content includes violence, strong language, alcohol, and sexual content. As a result, the drama series may not be suitable for kids ages 17 and under.

The first season consists of six episodes total. It’s unknown how long each episode will be, but we’re hoping they’re over 30 minutes long to make up for the short episode count.
