The show will shine the spotlight on the other Houston family members fans often didn’t get to see. Besides 19-year-old Bobbi Kristina, the series will also feature sister-in-law/manager Pat and her daughter Ryah, mother Cissy and brother Gary. Whitney’s cousin singer Dionne Warwick and CeCe Winans are also said to be appearing on the show.

According to Lifetime, the reality program will reveal how the Houstons are managing since Whitney’s untimely death back in February, after she suffered cardiac arrest and drowned in a bathtub as a result of extensive drug abuse.  More specifically, the  program will zero in on how the family is supporting and guiding Bobbi Kristina through life’s ups and downs since her mother’s passing.

“The tragic loss of Whitney Houston left a void in the hearts of people all over the world, but certainly none more so than her beloved family,” Rob Sharenow, executive vice president of programming at Lifetime Networks, said in a statement. “In this series, the multi-generations of the Houston family will bravely reveal their lives as they bond together to heal, love, and grow,” Sharenow states, according to KDFW Fox 4 News.

The premiere of the hour-long, ten episode series is slated for sometime later this year.
