Iyanla Vanzant is expanding her acting credits.
The author and spiritual life coach will play herself on Season 3 of Greenleaf, the Oprah Winfrey Network announced Monday.
Iyanla, who hosts the OWN self-help show Iyanla: Fix My Life, will be called on to help Charity (Deborah Joy Winans) finally find her place in the Greenleaf family.
The best-selling author has previously appeared as herself in Girls Trip and had a guest role on Jane the Virgin.
Emmy-winning actor Beau Bridges (Homeland) is also set to join the megachurch drama as Bob Whitmore, the folksy founder of a massive denomination with churches all over the world, who will use any unsavory tool at his disposal to win.
In February, OWN revealed that chart-topping songstress Patti LaBelle would be joining Greenleaf as Maxine, a famous motivational speaker and CEO of a Christian self-help empire. She’ll be a key ally to Lady Mae Greenleaf (Lynn Whitfield) as Mae faces new challenges in the series about the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch.
Season 3 of Greenleaf will get a two-night premiere on Tuesday-Wednesday, August 28-29 on OWN.
