OWN has acquired the first 40 episodes of Prospect Park’s online revival of One Life to Live and All My Children.
The soaps will air Monday-Thursday beginning July 15 for a 10-week summer run. All My Children will air at 1 p.m. while One Life to Live will air at 3 p.m. After being canceled by ABC, new episodes of both series began running online via Prospect Park’s The OnLine Network (TOLN) on April 29.
“These shows have proven to be very popular with a significant, loyal fan base, not to mention Oprah herself is a big fan,” said Erik Logan, president of OWN. “Many of our viewers across numerous platforms have expressed their passion for the soaps so we are especially excited to air this limited engagement on OWN.”
On Monday, OWN ordered more episodes of Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots.
