Cineflix Productions Working with Gladys Knight on Miniseries

Cineflix Productions is partnering with seven-time Grammy Award winner Gladys Knight and her Empress of Soul Productions to develop a returnable scripted miniseries based on her life and career.

Dubbed the Empress of Soul, Knight is an icon in the music industry, with more than 38 albums recorded in her storied career. She is also an actress, producer and humanitarian.

Knight said: “At the age of 78, most people in my industry have retired, but I’m just getting started. All my life, I’ve been able to sing my stories. I can now use this opportunity to show the meaning behind the words. Our partnership with Cineflix, sharing my life story, will allow me to leave a legacy of hard work and dedication. That alone is greater than any award I could ever receive. It’s important to leave large footprints that go in the right direction. That’s why Empress of Soul Productions was founded.”

J.C. Mills, president and head of content at Cineflix Productions, added: “Gladys is a legend and true icon; her creative ambition and artistry are unmatched. With over five decades across music, film, TV and humanitarian efforts, her life is a beautiful mosaic that we are honored to tell.”
