OWN and Onyx Collective are reportedly working on a new documentary series called The Hair Tales. A recent report from Bre Williams of Shadow & Act indicates that the upcoming series will offer “an honest and layered look into the complex culture of Black hair and, ultimately, Black women’s identity, creativity, and contributions to society — all delivered with a rare mix of intelligence, humor, style, joy and justice.” Along the way, the series will feature commentary from a number of stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Issa Rae, Chlöe Bailey and others.
The upcoming series from OWN and Onyx Collective is powered by an all-star team of producers and entertainers. Most notably, Oprah Winfrey, Tracee Ellis Ross, Michaela Angela Davis and Tara Duncan have all signed on as executive producers. Additional support will also come from Culture House, Joy Mill Entertainment, Tetravision and Harpo Films.
The Hair Tales does not have an exact release date just yet, but be on the lookout for more info as the summer moves forward.
