Cherish the Day Renewed by OWN

OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network has renewed the anthology drama Cherish the Day, which comes from Emmy-winning and Academy Award-nominated creator and executive producer Ava DuVernay.

Cherish the Day chronicles the relationship of one couple, with each episode spanning a single day. Season two will feature a brand-new couple’s love story, with an all-new cast. Production will take place in 2021.

The series—produced for OWN by ARRAY Filmworks and Harpo Films in association with Warner Bros. Television—achieved full gender parity with a production crew of more than 50 percent women, including 18 female department heads, an initiative DuVernay will continue on in season two.

Season one co-executive producers Raynelle Swilling and Teri Schaffer have been named executive producers and co-showrunners for season two.

“Ava and her immensely talented team of creators are telling dynamic and moving love stories depicting the many facets of marriage and relationships that resonate deeply with our audience,” said Tina Perry, president of OWN. “We are so excited for season two and a new beautiful Black love story.”

“Our Cherish the Day audience embraced and applauded the evolution of a Black couple building a life together in our first season, and we can’t wait to bring another story of love and connection to the small screen,” said DuVernay. “Everyone here at ARRAY Filmworks is so pleased to continue our exploration of romance day by day alongside our partners at Warner Bros. and OWN.”
