Whoopi Goldberg will be involved in a new reality series starring her daughter, Alex Martin. Whoopi will wear the hat as executive producer this time around. The series will be developed by 44 Blue Productions and Whoopi’s company, One Ho Productions. The docu-series will be family oriented, centering around Alex and her attempts to reinvent herself, both personally and professionally. The cast will include Alex’s husband, Bernard, their best friends Leisa and Ron and Alex’s three children—one of which has recently moved back home with her fiancé and newborn baby. Stephanie Drachkovitch, the Executive Vice President of 44 Blue Productions said,“To say that Alex has a gift for frankness and humor is an understatement and she clearly comes by it honestly,” “Plenty of women face similar family dynamics, but they find support from their families and friends – in this case it’s Alex’s BFF since high school, Leisa. They keep each other honest and real!”
