OWN ANNOUNCES FIRST-LOOK DEAL WITH HOLLY CARTER AND RELEVÉ ENTERTAINMENT, AN ALL3MEDIA AMERICA COMPANY

Network Commissions Two Holiday Gospel Music Specials and Orders Two New Original Unscripted Series to Development

"Our OWN Christmas" Hosted by Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin Premieres December 1

LOS ANGELES - OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today a first-look deal with multi-faceted producer Holly Carter and Relevé Entertainment, an All3Media America company. The partnership will focus on creating and producing unscripted series and specials for the network's audience of Black women viewers that explore faith, love, sisterhood, relationships and unity.

Carter is the founder of Relevé Entertainment, which specializes in television/film production, talent partnerships, and brand development. The company consistently delivers high-quality, "break-through" family and faith-based programming that engages national audiences. Most recently, Carter created and executive produced "The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel," the highest-rated original TV movie of 2020.

The first project under the new deal includes an all-star holiday gospel music special, "Our OWN Christmas" set to air on Tuesday, December 1 at 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT hosted by Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin (click here for a teaser trailer). The one-hour special will feature uplifting holiday moments, surprise acts of giving as well as festive performances by iconic Grammy Award-winning gospel singers Kierra Sheard, Erica Campbell, Tasha Cobbs-Leonard and Le'Andria Johnson, legendary award-winning gospel group The Clark Sisters, and many more. A second holiday gospel music special currently in production will air on OWN Easter 2021.

In addition, the network has ordered two new unscripted series to development, "Back to the Altar" about divorced couples working to mend their broken relationships, and "Love & Faith" following the women behind some of the faith community's best-known pastors.

"Holly is a force in the industry with a deep connection to our audience," said Tina Perry, president, OWN. "We are excited to premiere music specials on OWN for the first time and to create new original unscripted programming that will lift up the spirits of so many viewers through the power of storytelling."

"OWN's mission to inspire and entertain, while empowering viewers to live their best lives is one that aligns perfectly with my own," said Carter. "I'm looking forward to working with the OWN team to create engaging content that's driven by faith, family, redemption, and the inspiration that compels us to live out our dreams."

Holly Carter is represented by CAA's Bobby Kenner and Darrell Miller of Fox Rothschild.

About the Unscripted Series in Development

"Love & Faith" (working title) follows a diverse group of women whose husbands are some of the faith community's best known and most successful pastors. They are wives, mothers and professionals who, despite their husbands' larger than life personalities, are determined to live life on their own terms and are stepping into the limelight to pursue their dreams. The faith community is a tight-knit group, and these women are never short on opinions. Whether gathering for a First Ladies tea in Beverly Hills, working together on a ministry conference or embarking on a shopping excursion, these ladies keep it very real with each other, and there is always plenty of advice - and drama - to go around.

"Back to the Altar" (working title), which is being produced in partnership with Kevin Bartel and Best Production Company, an All3Media America company, centers on divorced couples working to repair their broken relationships in order to determine if their love for one another is worth a second chance. It's a voyage to self for couples to rediscover the love and passion that brought them together in the first place. Each episode will focus on the journey of one divorced couple and concludes with a dramatic decision at the altar - to remarry right now or walk away and call it quits forever.
