OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network Canada has commissioned a Celine Dion primetime documentary from indie producer Productions J and executive producer Julie Snyder.

Celine: 3 Boys and a New Show will air Oct. 2, in time to promote Dion’s latest album and her Las Vegas show.

The Canadian-made TV special in June aired on the U.S.-based OWN network.

Celine: 3 Boys and a New Show portrays the celebrated Canadian songstress balancing the creation of her Vegas show with motherhood.

“Despite Celine’s super-stardom, audiences will be surprised to find themselves relating to the all too familiar balancing act of juggling a busy career and family life,” Vibika Bianchi, vice president of original programming, lifestyle, reality, factual entertainment at Corus Entertainment, said in a statement.

Dion has participated in a slew of TV specials over the years, billed as intimate portraits of the entertainer as she rose to worldwide fame.

The OWN Canada commission continues a trend where popular entertainers increasingly open up to audiences with behind-the-scenes looks at their lives on specialty channels, rather than main networks like CBC and CTV.

Fellow Canadian music sensation Shania Twain recently launched a docu-series about her own life on OWN Canada.

Editor’s note: In a previous version of this article, Playback erroneously referred to Celine: 3 Boys and a New Show as an acquisition, rather than a commission. We regret the error.
