The late singer's daughter Bobbi Kristina, mother Cissy,
sister-in-law and manager Pat Houston, Pat's daughter Rayah and The Bodyguard actress'
brother Gary will all feature in the programme entitled The Houston Family Chronicles, which has been
picked up by Lifetime. The series will show Whitney's family as they face the
world without the I Will Always Love You hitmaker, who was found dead in a
bath tub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in February
'Guiding Bobbi Kristina'
The network says the show - which will also feature Whitney's
cousin Dionne Warwick and CeCe Winans, who dueted with the singer on her hit
track Count On Me - will
join the family "as they take on their greatest challenge, supporting and
guiding Bobbi Kristina as she faces the world alone, without the one person she
relied on the most, her mother." Rob
Sharenow, executive vice president of programming at Lifetime Networks, said in
a statement: "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. "In this series, the
multi-generations of the Houston family will bravely reveal their lives as they
bond together to heal, love, and grow."
Pat revealed she has been working with Simmons Shelley on a
similar project, but Whitney's untimely death has changed the
"direction" of their intended show. She said in a statement: ''I have been working with
Simmons Shelley over the past few years developing a project suitable for
myself and our family.
"The unexpected passing of Whitney
certainly affects the direction of the show. However, it is my hope that others
will be enlightened as they watch our family heal and move forward."
Lifetime plans to screen 10 episodes of The Houston Family Chronicles, which will air at some point later this year.
