OWN Gives Second Season to Lisa Ling Series

LOS ANGELES: OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network has ordered a second season of the docu-series Our America with Lisa Ling, with six new installments on the way.

The show takes an in-depth look at some of the most controversial and thought-provoking issues in the U.S. Each episode features Ling as she immerses herself into the lives of the people she meets, challenging herself to understand different perspectives. The new season will feature six investigative specials.

“Our America‘s thought-provoking programming has resonated with our audience,” said Lisa Erspamer, the chief creative officer of OWN. “In the second season Lisa will dig even deeper into our society covering provocative issues that spark discussion and conversation.”

"I am truly elated that OWN’s audience has responded to Our America, and I’m thrilled to get the chance to produce more episodes," added Ling, series host and executive producer. "We set out to create shows that don’t tell viewers what to think, but rather, to take them along to experience different aspects of this country that we inhabit. It has been a most scintillating journey."
