Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American TVOD rights to award-winning producer Tommy Oliver (Kinyarwanda, 1982, The Perfect Guy) and co-creator Codie Elaine Oliver's touching 4-part documentary series BLACK LOVE. Breaking Glass acquired rights to the series in August in a deal negotiated between Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff and Tommy Oliver of Confluential Films. BLACK LOVE will be available on Amazon Instant on December 22.
From director Codie Elaine Oliver and described as a series that pulls back the curtain on what it takes to make a marriage work, BLACK LOVE features an all-star cast as they discuss their own successes and failures in love and marriage. The storytellers include Academy-award nominee Viola Davis (The Help), Neil Brown Jr. (Straight Outta Compton, "Seal Team" on CBS), Meagan Good (Think Like a Man), Tia Mowry-Hardict ("Sister, Sister"), Sean Patrick Thomas (Save the Last Dance), Cory Hardict (All Eyez on Me), and many more.
"The overwhelmingly positive response to our show has been so humbling", said Oliver. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share it with a wider audience thanks to Breaking Glass."
BLACK LOVE showcases highlights of love stories from the black community and seeks to find SECRETS to making a marriage work. Features love stories from some successful people in entertainment as well as everyday couples, each offering a unique take on love.
The series held its world premiere on OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK where the first episode drew 1.2 million total viewers, making it OWN's most-watched unscripted series debut in network history. The series premiere was also the No. 2 most social primetime episode on national cable. BLACK LOVE has been officially renewed by the network for a second 8-episode series set to air in the Spring of 2018.
"Black Love is an intimate, touching series that both truly transcends race, creed, and sexuality, and gets to the heart of what it takes for love to work", said Rich Wolff, CEO of Breaking Glass. "We are honored to include this amazing series in our VOD slate."
