Oprah isn’t doing that Birdman hand rub for nothing.

Not only is she executive producing OWN’s newest show Greenleaf, but she is also set to appear on the megachurch drama. According to Entertainment Weekly, the show follows several generations of the Greenleaf family, which sits at the head of the Greenleaf World Ministries. The show stars Keith David as Bishop James Greanleaf and legend Lynn Whitfield as Lady Mae. Oprah will portray Mavis McCready, Lady Mae’s sister.

OWN’s official description describes is: “Like so many megachurches in America, Greenleaf World Ministries is more than just a house of worship. It’s a home. But beneath its steeple lies a den of iniquity.”

Sounds like it will be another great OWN drama.

Go O!
