The drama will focus on a picturesque Napa Valley, California vineyard owned by the Kings, an aspirational African American family whose wealth and status lands them on the pages of design magazines and society pages. The wine business has brought the family success and acclaim, but following the patriarch's sudden exit from the company, his three children must grapple for the reigns to the kingdom - to their own power, wealth and legacy.
Sherman Barrois created the drama, with Oscar winner Matthew A. Cherry (Hair Love) directing the first two episodes. They will executive produce with Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Listenbee Brown. Warner Bros. Television and Harpo Films will produce.

"I'm beyond thrilled to collaborate with OWN on this groundbreaking show, and to have Academy Award winner Matthew A. Cherry's brilliant vision bringing it to life is a dream come true," added Sherman Barrois.
