"OWN will air an exclusive interview with Oprah and Lindsay Lohan that will tape and air in August and an eight-part documentary series with Lindsay for 2014," an OWN spokesperson confirmed, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Furthermore, Lohan will be paid $2 million for doing the interview as well as the mini-series.

The actress recently guest-starred on both "Glee" and "Anger Management," and appeared in Lifetimes's made-for-TV-movie "Liz & Dick."

Moreover, Lohan's film "The Canyons" hits theaters on Aug. 2.

The actress' first post-rehab interview with be another top mark for OWN, which has scored sought-after sit-downs with high profile people including Lance Armstrong during his doping scandal and Rihanna who addressed the assault case involving Chris Brown.

Lohan's rehabilitation stay is scheduled to conclude on July 31.
