I’m currently scoring the upcoming American TV series “Love Is___” which will premiere June 19th on Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). - About the TV series "Love Is___” Michele Weaver and Will Catlett star in OWN's new romantic drama Love Is___, from award-winning producers Mara Brock Akil (Girlfriends, Being Mary Jane, The Game) and Salim Akil (Black Lightning). Set primarily in 1990s Los Angeles against the backdrop of Black Hollywood, Love Is___ follows Nuri (Michele Weaver) and Yasir (Will Catlett), a couple from seemingly opposite worlds, as they chase their dreams and learn to follow their hearts. Told from the perspective of the couple's present-day selves, the romantic drama also revisits the social issues and vibrant black culture of that time reflecting on how it all aligned to shape the couple they have become nearly 20 years later—a power couple navigating a complex set of social codes while also balancing successful careers and a beautiful family. Drawing inspiration from creators Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil's own relationship journey, the series explores the highs, the lows, and the magic of falling (and staying) in love. http://www.oprah.com/app/love-is.html VARIETY https://variety.com/2018/scene/vpage/love-is-premiere-mara-brock-akil-salim-akil-own-1202843117/ The Hollywood Reporter https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/love-is-premiere-oprah-winfrey-wanting-work-mara-brock-akil-1119447?utm_source=twitter&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral
