Venerated TV host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey will sit down with Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks and Fantasia Barrino — who star in the big-screen musical adaptation of The Color Purple — for a trio of OWN Spotlight specials set to air in January.

Each hour-long presentation will feature a candid conversation centered around the actress’ respective roles as Shug Avery, Sofia and Celie in the new film executive-produced by Oprah and directed by Blitz Bazawule (Black Is King, Cherish the Day). “The women reflect on the making of the highly anticipated movie,” the logline reads, “how it changed their lives and what makes this bold new imagining of the timeless tale so powerful.”
