Oprah adds some reality to her network

The OWN Network recently released the trailer for their new show, Love In The City. The show revolves around four women who are living in New York and multi-tasking their careers & personal lives.

The show was originally titled, “Crazy. Sexy.Life” but later was changed. The show stars actress, Chenoa Maxwell, who starred in movies Hav Plenty & G, Celebrity hair stylist, Kiyah Wright, Philanthropist, Tiffany Jones and blogger, Bershan Shaw. 

This is not your typical reality show where everyone is either fighting each other or throwing an object. The girls have known each other for more than 10 years and they often support & give each other advice about anything in life.

Here is a statement from Aisha I. Jefferson of Xfinity about the show:

“The relationships seem very genuine, even though there’s tension between some of the ladies. Doesn’t seem terribly forced like some other reality shows (they shall remain nameless…for now). Another thing I like is that the women seem more vulnerable and revealing of their shortcomings. For example, Bershan admits she’s insecure, Chenoa and her husband struggle to conceive–and it’s a strain on their marriage (they even discussed having a second wife–wow!), Tiffany’s breast cancer returns and Kiyah unapologetically wants a baby sans a husband. So, yeah, this show definitely brings a little something different to the table compared to other reality shows targeting an African-American audience.” 

The show is set to premiere on Saturday, April 12th at 10 pm. You could watch the trailer here.
