This June brings with it the fifth season of ‘Greenleaf’ – which OWN have today confirmed will be the final instalment of the popular church drama.

Anchored by Merle Dandridge (Grace Greenleaf), Lynn Whitfield (Lady Mae Greenleaf), and Keith David (Bishop Greenleaf), the series has gripped viewers with its juicy take on what happens beyond the pulpit of one of Memphis’ most prominent (fictional) megachurches.

Following its dramatic climax last year, the next chapter of the show sees the Greenleafs attempt to maintain a united front in the face of losing their church to Bob Whitmore and Harmony & Hope Ministries.

However, secrets creep up and create foundation shaking fractures – some of which threatened to destroy the family’s fragile relationship.

A consistent performer, the show oft ranks as the #1 telecast for African American viewers across all of broadcast and cable.

May 19 marks the 22nd anniversary of one of the most successful singles of all time – Brandy & Monica‘s iconic duet, ‘The Boy Is Mine.’

Once thought to be the first major casualty of the industry shakeup caused by coronavirus, ‘Trolls World Tour’ – the follow-up to the 2016 animated blockbuster ‘Trolls’ – has proven itself a winner on many fronts.

As reported here, the film’s release was preceded by news its accompanying soundtrack debuted at #110 on the Billboard 200 – fulfilling the predicted fate for the set given the nonperformance of its lead singles ‘The Other Side’ (Justin Timberlake, SZA) and ‘Don’t Slack’ (Timberlake, Anderson .Paak).

While a similar outcome was forecasted for the movie itself, the Anna Kendricks-led flick  – which bypassed theaters to go straight to home rental – exceeded expectations and has racked up over $100 million since its premiere (as we reported here).  Its popularity has breathed new life into its companion album as the project, produced by Timberlake, recently shot into the Billboard 200’s top 20.
