OWN Greenlights Two New Iyanla Vanzant Specials (EXCLUSIVE)

Press Release

March 11, 2026

OWN has greenlit two new television specials starring Iyanla Vanzant, an Emmy-winning spiritual life coach. While details of the specials are still under wraps, both will continue Vanzant’s goal of helping people “fix” their lives, with production beginning in March.

The news of the two specials comes following the launch and rollout of “Iyanla: The Inside Fix,” a revived take on Vanzant’s previous series, “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” in which she offered deeper reflections on 12 of the most memorable episodes. “Iyanla: The Inside Fix” premiered at No. 1 among African American women, according to OWN, which says it’s the top-rated cable network among African American women on Saturdays.

“The response to ‘The Inside Fix’ has been nothing short of a blessing,” said Vanzant. “The series is a ministry of healing. Each story, each tear, each moment of truth is a sacred encounter with the human soul. When one soul speaks its truth, the frequency of truth expands through the collective. When one heart is cleansed, the vibration of wholeness ripples outward. Those who watch are not bystanders; they are participants in the collective healing process for themselves, their families, their communities and the world. It is not about fixing your life. It is about freeing your soul. No more surface solutions. This is where truth becomes transformation.”

While “Iyanla: The Inside Fix” premiered earlier this year, Vanzant first made her television debut with “Iyanla: Fix My Life” in 2012. The show ran until 2021, spotlighting conversations around personal growth and featuring guests including Shereé Whitfield, Karrueche Tran, Evelyn Lozada and more. She’s also the author of more than 17 books, including “In The Meantime,” “Yesterday I Cried” and “Forgiveness: 21 Days to Forgive Everyone for Everything,” among others. “Iyanla: The Inside Fix” is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, a Banijay Americas company, for OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. The show airs Saturdays at 8 p.m. ET on the network.
