(SILVER SPRING, MD) -- Starring as a young teacher plagued with visions, Tatyana Ali ("Zoe Ever After," "Love That Girl!," "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air") returns to TV One in the new made-for-television movie Second Sight. Premiering Saturday, April 23 at 8 p.m. ET, Ali plays Clara Randall, whose gift of "prophesy" leaves her haunted by premonitions of horrific kidnappings. Despite people's unwillingness to believe her "second sight," Clara takes it upon herself to search for one of her students who has gone missing. Shot on location in Los Angeles, this suspenseful thriller marks the third project executive produced by Radio One Founder Cathy Hughes and Executive Vice President of Special Projects Susan Banks.

"First with horror, and now suspense, Ms. Hughes and Susan Banks have once again ushered TV Oneinto an entirely new genre for the network," stated D'Angela Proctor, TV One's Head of Original Programming and Production. "Driving the network into fresh and unexplored territory is exactly what our new brand promise represents - taking chances and defying expectations."

Along her mission to save this innocent life, Clara discovers disturbing secrets and lies surrounding those she trusted most.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed.
