In June, Parton announced that her Dixie Pixie Productions company teamed up with Warner Bros. Television and Netflix for a series slated to premiere in 2019. Each episode will focus on a different song from the legendary singer, and Parton herself is expected to make appearances.
“As a songwriter, I have always enjoyed telling stories through my music. I am thrilled to be bringing some of my favorite songs to life with Netflix,” Parton said at the time. “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.”
No word yet on which eight songs will be featured.
