After two successful made-for-TV movies for NBC (Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors and Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love), the songstress will be sharing new stories about the memories and inspirations behind some of her most famous songs.
Debuting next month on Netflix, Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings anthology series will feature eight one-hour long episodes that not only stars Parton, but a number of TV and movie stars we haven’t seen seen in a long time (plus a few we have) including Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone), Delta Burke (Designing Women), Tim Reid (WKRP in Cincinnati), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Father of the Bride), Melissa Leo (Wayward Pines), Ginnifer Goodwin (Once Upon a Time), Julianne Hough (America’s Got Talent) and a bunch more.
New and older favorite versions of Dolly’s songs will be featured in every episode of Heartstrings which will vary in tone “from love stories and inspirational tales to family dramas, westerns, and revenge comedies,” says Netflix.
