On September 11, the FOX drama Monarch will (finally) debut at 8 PM.
The (delayed till fall) drama is a Texas-sized, multi-generational musical drama about America’s first family of country music. The Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough as nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman (Susan Sarandon) and her beloved husband, “Texas Truthteller” Albie Roman (Trace Adkins). They have created a country music dynasty, but even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown Nicolette “Nicky” Roman (Anna Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.
The cast includes Beth Ditto, D. W. Moffett, Damon Dayoub, Josh Sasse and Reshma Shetty.
Sarandon’s own daughter Eva Amurri will play the younger version of her character.
