The hits keep coming from television’s quintessential shero, Oprah Winfrey, who 10 years ago, launched a branded content platform under the moniker, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
“Delilah” will be the latest in OWN’s line-up, reaching millions of weekly viewers. Previous OWN hits include “Queen Sugar” and “The Haves and Have Nots.”
“Delilah” comes on the heels of the network’s most successful dramatic series, “Greenleaf,” by creator Craig Wright who pairs with executive producers Charles Randolph-Wright and Winfrey.
The female-driven cast, directed by Randolph-Wright, stars Maahra Hill in the title role, alongside Jill Marie Jones (TV’s “Girlfriends”). The show premieres on March 9.
The new TV series "Delilah" premieres on OWN Tuesday night. What makes it notable is its focus on strong, Black women as lead characters. But Charlotteans can tune in to get a glimpse of a familiar city as one of the show's characters, too.
