Greenleaf
Faith and fury.
Created by Craig Wright
On OWN
A serialized family drama set within a megachurch that uses faith as both anchor and battleground, exploring how institutional religion masks personal corruption and moral compromise.
The unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, where scandalous secrets and lies are as numerous as the faithful. Born of the church, the Greenleaf family love and care for each other, but beneath the surface lies a den of iniquity—greed, adultery, sibling rivalry and conflicting values—that threatens to tear apart the very core of their faith that holds them together.
