Seven months ago, Oprah Winfrey signed off from her daytime talk show and walked into the unknown sunset.
But now, Oprah says she is returning to TV yet again, this time, to host a primetime series on OWN titled,
Oprah’s Next Chapter.
The new show will focus on her travels around the country and the world, visiting different celebrities. “After 25 years, I got myself out of the studio chairs,” Winfrey said in a statement. “I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever – moving around the country and the world talking to people I’m really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too. It is so energizing to be out and about in the world exploring new people, new places and new ideas.”
Oprah’s Next Chapter will premiere January 1 and feature an interview with Steven Tyler at his home in New Hampshire. Other slated guests include Paula Deen, George Lucas and Sean Penn.
