Executive producers Oprah Winfrey, Craig Wright (“Lost,” “Six Feet Under”) and Clement Virgo (“The Book of Negroes”) were on hand to share insight on the show during the post-screening Q&A along with cast members Keith David, Lynn Whitfield, Merle Dandridge, Lamman Rucker, Kim Hawthorne, Tye White and writer/story editor Erica Anderson.
“GREENLEAF”
centers on the journey of estranged daughter and disillusioned preacher
Grace Greenleaf (Merle Dandridge, “The Night Shift”) who has returned
home after 20 years on the occasion of the mysterious death of her
sister, Faith. As she reenters the world of Calvary Fellowship World
Ministries, the Memphis megachurch run by her powerful parents Bishop
James Greenleaf (Keith David, “Enlisted” and “Community”) and Lady Mae
Greenleaf (Lynn Whitfield, “The Josephine Baker Story”), it becomes
evident that things are not as virtuous as they seem and that the
family’s outward display of faith hides sin and misdeeds.
"GREENLEAF" premieres two-nights: Tuesday, June 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT and Wednesday, June 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on
OWN. The series will regularly air on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT for
the remainder of its 13-episode first season. “Greenleaf” is produced
for OWN by Lionsgate Television.
