Quibi is teaming with Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, The Outsider, The Color Purple) for the docuseries What We Keep which will bring audiences into the homes of remarkable people and asks the singular question: “Of all that you own, what object means the most to you and why?”
Based on the book by the same name from Bill Shapiro and Naomi Wax and directed by Penny Lane (Hail Satan?), What We Keep is relevant in the current global landscape as it brings objects to the forefront that provide comfort, memories, and safety — something that is more important than ever. The new series features unforgettable stories of deep love, pure inspiration, and great humor — and reveals these items as reminders of who we are.
