Coming this Fall ”Marvin Sapp, Single Dad” will chronicle the second chapter of Marvin’s life, after the passing of his wife of 20 years. Marvin Sapp, known for his mega gospel hits is now a single dad raising two teens and a tween while pastoring a church.  Additionally, he is maintaining a music career and fighting off, “God told me you are my husband!” women. All this requires more prayer and skills than this dad think he has. The series is currently being pitched to digital, cable and broadcast networks. Hopefully the series gets picked up by a network, and we’ll get to see Pastor Sapp and his family conquers the small screen. 

Every day is a new day," Sapp said in an interview with the Associated Press. “There are days when I get up and I cry, thinking of her. There are days thinking of her and I smile. There are days when I’m angry. Days that I’m not... we miss her.”

Sapp and his teenage children, Marvin "ML" Sapp II., MiKaila and Madisson, began shooting footage in the beginning of the year. Open River Pictures is now shopping the show to networks for distribution. 

Tammy Williams, CEO of Open Rivers Pictures, said it was an honor and privilege to work with Sapp. "Marvin entrusted my company to document the second chapter of his and his kids," said Williams. "I think it is timely that the country sees a man, especially an African-American man, who is serious about family values and raising his children.”
