Toni Braxton will transform into legendary singer Darlene Love for OWN’s upcoming biopic on the pop vocalist.
My Name is Love: The Darlene Love Story is set to premiere in December and tells the story of Love’s decades-long career in the music business as a solo artist and background singer for the likes of Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen. This will be OWN’s first scripted biopic helmed by filmmaker Morgan Neville.
OWN’s upcoming season also includes a miniseries starring Octavia Spencer, the return of Tyler Perry’s The Have and the Have Nots, the debut of his drama series Single Mom’s Club and Justin Timberlake headlining the new season of Oprah’s Master Class.
