Looks like the magical partnership of Ava DuVernay and Oprah will be going on for a while.
Harpo studios announced today that it has partnered with the award-winning filmmaker on a first-look deal for television and digital media. The first product will be DuVernay’s recently announced, limited drama series “Central Park Five” for Netflix.
“I’m so proud of Ava and her ability as a filmmaker to challenge the status quo and push for inclusiveness on screen and behind the camera. I love, love, love the work we have been able to create so far. I am looking forward to developing many more meaningful projects together,” Winfrey said in a statement.
“There is fresh air and room to roam. There is an artist-driven atmosphere and an intention to share stories that nourish. There is a spirit of inclusivity and imagination moving at all times,” said DuVernay. “This is the new era of OWN. I’m thrilled to continue to collaborate with Ms. Winfrey as we expand the scope of our storytelling. And I feel fortunate to be a small part of this network at such a wonderful time in its evolution.”
