Oprah Prime
Oprah Prime (formerly Oprah's Next Chapter) is an American prime-time television series hosted and produced by Oprah Winfrey, airing on Oprah Winfrey Network. The series premiered on January 1, 2012, with a two-part episode featuring Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. The third season brought a new series title, Oprah Prime, and premiered on March 9, 2014.
Oprah Prime is an interview program that allows Oprah Winfrey to step "outside of the studio for some riveting, enlightening in-depth conversations with newsmakers, celebrities, thought leaders and real-life families." The decision to launch Oprah Prime was made after Oprah reflected on her 25 years on television. "After 25 years I got myself out of the studio chairs. I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever – moving around the country and the world talking to people I’m really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too," said Winfrey. "It is so energizing to be out and about in the world exploring new people, new places and new ideas."
Season 1 of Oprah's Next Chapter debuted on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network on Sunday January 1, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. ET with a two-part series premiere featuring Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.
Throughout the first season, Oprah interviews Aerosmith's Steven Tyler at his New Hampshire home; journeys to Haiti with Sean Penn nearly two years after a devastating earthquake took the lives of more than 300,000 people; tours Skywalker Ranch with George Lucas as her personal guide; has a slumber party at Southern chef Paula Deen's Georgia estate; and travels to a small town in Iowa devoted to the practice of Transcendental Meditation.
On January 24, 2012, it was announced that as a result of its high ratings, Oprah's Next Chapter would be airing two nights per week in February, as two-part episodes that run one hour each.
On April 27, 2012, OWN announced that new episodes of Oprah's Next Chapter would continue airing throughout the summer. These episodes "will feature Winfrey visiting How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris in his Los Angeles home, where she'll meet his husband-to-be and his fraternal twin babies. She'll also head to Brazil to meet with a faith healer and 'psychic surgeon.' The host will watch his controversial procedures as they're performed without anesthesia or sterilization."
Season 2 of Oprah's Next Chapter premiered on July 22, 2012, featuring an interview with 10 U.S. Olympic athletes at Oprah's home in Montecito, California. Upcoming episodes were scheduled to feature Kelsey Grammer Jennifer Hudson, Bette Midler, Stephen Colbert. Drew Barrymore, LL Cool J, and Whitney Houston's mother Cissy Houston.
On January 17 and 18, 2013, OWN broadcast a two-part special interview with former cyclist Lance Armstrong, in his first interview after being charged with use of performance-enhancing drugs. The first half of the interview was seen by 3.2 million viewers in the United States.
