DISCOVERY+ AND OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK ANNOUNCE NEW ORIGINAL UNSCRIPTED SERIES, "LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER?"

PREMIERES SATURDAY, JANUARY 8 ON DISCOVERY+

Mother and Daughter Pairs With Broken Relationships Seek Guidance from Mental Health Experts Dr. Cynthia Powell-Hicks and Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks

LOS ANGELES - discovery+ and OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today the premiere date of "Like Mother, Like Daughter?," a new docu-series exploring the complicated and powerful dynamics between six mother and daughter duos, each at a critical crossroads and searching for help. The eight episode series will debut two, one-hour episodes on Saturday, January 8 and new episodes weekly on discovery+.

"Like Mother, Like Daughter?" follows six pairs of mothers and daughters who embark on a three-week retreat to address their broken relationships. Emotions run high as healing these relationships exposes long-kept secrets, reopening old wounds and revealing deep seated issues. With the help of mental health experts Dr. Cynthia Powell-Hicks and Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks -- a mother/daughter duo themselves who can uniquely relate to the dynamics -- the women work together to address trauma and cultivate the skills necessary to have a healthy, loving relationship with each other. For some, this journey may seem impossible and for others, it's a life changing experience.

"Like Mother, Like Daughter?" is executive produced by Jonathan Murray, Julie Pizzi, Erica Ross and Jonathan Singer of Bunim/Murray Productions in partnership with d+ and OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
