Oprah Winfrey is set to branch out into reality TV.

The chat show queen's production company is working on two prime-time series, tentatively called Oprah Winfrey's The Big Give and Your Money or Your Life.

The Big Give, which will go out on ABC in the US, will provide money and other resources to 10 people and challenge them to help others with it. The winner will see their "wildest" dream come true.

Your Money or Your Life, which is in development, features families who are confronted by a crisis and must change or risk being "consumed by disaster".

ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said Winfrey's move into making a TV series for the first time was "monumental".
