New Oprah Winfrey Network Show ‘Greenleaf’ to Film in Atlanta

Date:

Oprah Winfrey Network’s new show Greenleaf to film in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Greenleaf is “described as the center of the community for the thousands of predominantly African-American members who attend services there. But beneath its steeple lies a den of iniquity — greed, adultery, sibling rivalry and conflicting values.”

Greenleaf is described on a the level of deception and mystery that surrounds the church’s founding family and the church’s congregation and Memphis community. Despite all of the drama, everyone feels that they have a conscience for their sins.

The series is written by Craig Wright, the writer behind several major TV shows including Six Feet Under, Lost, and Tyrant. Wright, who is a graduate of the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities and a former minister, will write the scripts and executive produce alongside Winfrey.

“To tell this potentially explosive story with Oprah, a partner who has as much respect and affection for the church as I do, whose entire body of work is infused with what I would call a faith-based humanism, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A blessing, even,” Wright said.

This will be the second original scripted series that is not produced or written by Tyler Perry. Until Ava DuVernay’s new series Queen Sugar, OWN’s scripted lineup only featured Tyler Perry produced productions.

According to Come Tour GeorgiaGreenleaf will film in the Georgia area in the next few weeks.
