“Greenleaf” premiered last June as the #1 series debut in OWN history and was 2016’s #1 new cable series for women, averaging over three million viewers in Live+3 in its first season. We cannot wait to see what is in store for the Greenleaf family! Last season had us all reeling and left us wondering where do they all go from here. The drama, the infighting, the danger, and spirituality of this series is going to keep it around for many years to come.
The new season of#Greenleaf premieres Wednesday, March 15 at 10pm ET/PT on OWN! Be sure you tune in! Happy viewing! Check out a few more photos from last night’s premiere party below, and get an extended sneak peek at Season 2 by clicking here.

WHO AM I?
That’s probably what you’re thinking? It’s simple I’m this generation’s “Dear Abby!” I was raised in the Fourth Ward of Atlanta, educated in the School of Hard Knocks, and rescued by the concrete and steel of New York City. Life at best will always be bittersweet. The sooner you accept that, the better off you’ll be. I’d prefer to be on your sweeter side. Everyone needs a listening ear, extra shoulder, and open arms when life gets rough. I’m your new best friend, whe it all goes south remember I’m a mouse click or tweet away. Hang in there kids, you’re gonna love kickin’ it with me!!!
