Greenleaf season 5 is coming next month on OWN and this will be the final installment of the church drama series. Many were shock with the decision, but the series' final run may tie all the loose ends hanging since the beginning to deliver a satisfying ending. But, why the series is ending?
There are a lot of reasons to that, but creator Craig Wright explained in a video why the series has to end. The simple answer here is that "it's time" for it to go. He explained that he and Oprah Winfrey planned to give the show only five seasons, making Greenleaf season 5 the last one.
Wright wanted to make sure that the series would have a complete story and no one would overstay their welcome. It can be noted that he previously worked on Six Feet Under, which is one of the shows known for having the best endings.
Since Greenleaf season 5 serves as the series finale, there's a chance to get closure to several big stories. Viewers should be prepared for some emotional moments, as well as unexpected reveals moving forward. There's probably a twist that could change the world of Grace and others.
The series' final run will also dive deeper and explore the lives of these characters. But, will all members of the Greenleaf family get a happy ending? There's no clear indication when it comes to that right now, but there could be a dramatic turn that could hugely impact their lives.
Greenleaf season 5 may deliver devastating secrets that nobody expects. Based on the synopsis, the family will try to save Memphis megachurch. Their biggest threat this time is that the church is being taken over by Bob Whitmore and Harmony and Hope Ministries.
The family will do everything they can to save it, but despite their efforts to unite, some secrets from the past and present threaten to tear them apart. Bishop also tries to mend his rift with Lady Mae, while Harmony and Hope's grips on Calvary tightens day by day.
Greenleaf debuted in 2016 and tells the story of the Greenleaf family and their scandalous secrets and lies. The series stars Kim Hawthorne, Gregory Alan Williams, Lamman Rucker, Tye White, Deborah Joy Winans, Lovie Simone, Oprah Winfrey, Desiree Ross, Lynn Whitfield, Keith David, and Merle Dandridge.
The official release date of Greenleaf season 5 wasn't yet revealed, but it is expected to premiere in June on OWN.
