From the inception of “Greenleaf,” Wright and executive producer Oprah Winfrey envisioned that the story would span five seasons, with Wright contemplating a spin-off. These plans accelerated when fans expressed their support for the show after its final season was announced, reaffirming its passionate fan base.
The spin-off would join OWN’s lineup of prestige scripted programming including the recent Peabody nominated “David Makes Man” from Oscar-winner Tarell McCraney (OWN’s first Peabody recognition), acclaimed filmmaker Ava DuVernay’s popular drama “Queen Sugar” and anthology series “Cherish The Day,” and Tyler Perry’s long-running “The Haves and the Have Nots.”
“Greenleaf” takes viewers into the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, where scandalous secrets and lies are as numerous as the faithful. The series stars Merle Dandridge as Grace Greenleaf; Keith David as Bishop James Greenleaf; Lynn Whitfield as Lady Mae Greenleaf; Kim Hawthorne as Kerissa Greenleaf; Lamman Rucker as Jacob Greenleaf; and Deborah Joy Winans as Charity Greenleaf-Satterjee. “Greenleaf’s” fifth and final season will premiere on Tuesday, June 23 at 9PM ET/PT.
