GRB to Distribute Two Shows from OWN

SHERMAN OAKS: GRB Entertainment has added two Tyler Perry shows to its catalogue after securing international distribution rights from OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

Both series—The Haves and the Have Nots and Love Thy Neighbor—are produced by Tyler Perry Studios, which is owned and run by the actor/director/playwright.

The shows recently started top-rated second seasons on Winfrey’s network. Set in Savannah, Georgia, The Haves and the Have Nots highlights the dynamics between a powerful family and the hired help working in their mansion. The sitcom Love Thy Neighbor takes place in a diner where zany neighbors gather for food and laughs.

“We have enjoyed a very successful relationship with OWN over the years and we are thrilled to be distributing these two well-produced series,” said Gary R. Benz, the president and CEO of GRB Entertainment. “GRB is excited to enter into the world of scripted programming and it is an honor to represent such high-quality productions from OWN and Tyler Perry Studios. The Haves and the Have Nots and Love Thy Neighbor align well with our current slate of high-quality, thought-provoking programs.”
