April 7 (UPI) — Netflix announced on Thursday the special “Oprah + Viola” will premiere on April 22. The 48-minute special will feature Oprah Winfrey in conversation with Viola Davis.
Davis will be discussing her new memoir, “Finding Me.” In the book, Davis discusses growing up surrounded by abuse and poverty.
According to the announcement, Davis says she found peace by “giving up hope that the past could be different.” The discussion will also include Davis’ love life and career.
