Starring Merle Dandridge, Keith David and Lynn Whitfield, “Greenleaf” last fall averaged 1.1 million total viewers and a 0.22 demo rating (in Live+Same Day numbers), down about 15 percent from its third season, per Deadline. The outlet also provided a breakdown of how the plot will play out this last season, writing:

In Greenleaf‘s farewell fun, the titular family will attempt to maintain a united front in the face of losing their church to Bob Whitmore and Harmony and Hope Ministries, but secrets past and present create what could be fatal fractures in the family’s fragile foundation.

 The Bishop continues working to mend his rift with Lady Mae while, day by day, Harmony and Hope’s grip on Calvary tightens. 

Winfrey explained at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival why she chose “Greenleaf” as OWN’s first scripted series.

“The church is such a powerful institution in the African-American community and, I thought, a bedrock for storytelling and for sinning and for learning how to forgive and to overcome your flaws and faults and all that,” she said. “So it’s just a beautiful platform.”

The final season of “Greenleaf” premieres in June on OWN.

The first four seasons are available on Netflix.

To date, the series has bagged 10 NAACP Image Award nominations, including wins for Outstanding Drama in 2020, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for Lynn Whitfield in 2019 and 2020.
