Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Little Big Town, and Tanya Tucker are set to guest-star on the brand new Monarch TV Drama, which tells the fictional story of America’s leading country music family. The series will star Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins.

Monarch debuts with a special two-night event, beginning Sunday, September 11, immediately following the FOX NFL doubleheader. It then makes its premiere Tuesday, September 20 at 9:00 PM.

Meanwhile, on Saturday night (8/2), the cast will meet with the media backstage at the Grand Ole Opry to discuss the new show, and Adkins will perform on the Opry show that night. No word on whether Sarandon will join him on stage for a song.
