In 2021, Apple TV+ was excited to announce that they had secured the rights for a two-part documentary about the life of Oprah Winfrey. Oscar-winner Kevin Macdonald directed the documentary while teaming up with Winfrey’s longtime producer, Lisa Erspamer. Three years later, there’s an update to the project, and it’s not a good one.

Oprah Winfrey has bought back the rights to a documentary about her life. The 70-year-old television icon has reacquired the rights to the film.

A spokesperson for Winfrey told the outlet, “As the Apple TV+ deal was coming to an end, Ms. Winfrey bought back the rights to her docu-series and has since decided to put the doc on hold.” Winfrey ended her content deal with Apple in September 2022.
