June 4, 2018

Netflix has greenlighted an eight-episode Dolly Parton anthology series, with each episode based on a song by her. In addition to serving as singer/songwriter, Parton will executive produce and will also appear in the series.

The project comes from Parton’s Dixie Pixie Productions, Sam Haskell’s Magnolia Hill Entertainment in association with Warner Bros Television where Magnolia Hill has a deal.

“As a songwriter, I have always enjoyed telling stories through my music,” Parton said.

“I am thrilled to be bringing some of my favorite songs to life with Netflix. We hope our show will inspire and entertain families and folks of all generations, and I want to thank the good folks at Netflix and Warner Bros. TV for their incredible support.”

Surprised they haven't changed that like they did with Dixie Stampede.

Julianne Hough to Star as Jolene in Netflix's Dolly Parton Anthology "Heartstrings"
by Dave Nemetz
November 1, 2018

"Dancing with the Stars'" Julianne Hough will play the notorious man-stealer Jolene in Netflix’s upcoming anthology Dolly Parton’s "Heartstrings", based on the country legend’s most iconic songs, TVLine has learned.

The previously announced anthology “showcases the stories, memories, and inspirations behind Parton’s most beloved songs,” with each hour-long episode tackling a different song with a new cast.

The Jolene installment stars Hough as Jolene, “a flirtatious free-spirit with aspirations of escaping her small hometown” and becoming a famous singer.

Parton herself will appear in the episode as Babe, the owner of a local honky-tonk bar where Jolene works as a waitress. Plus, Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Nashville) will play local wife and mother Emily, while Dallas Roberts (Insatiable) plays Aaron, a husband facing a midlife crisis.

(Uh-oh. We know how this song goes.)

"Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings" will consist of eight episodes, Netflix says, with each episode preceded by a introduction from Parton explaining the meaning behind each song.

It’s slated to debut on the streamer next year.
