MONARCH: What You Need to Know About the Series Premiere

Fox is hoping to repeat its musical success (see: EMPIRE and GLEE) with the new drama MONARCH, which follows the trials and tribulations of the (fictional) First Family of Country Music.

If you’re counting down the minutes for the show’s bow, take a look at photos from tonight’s season premiere, and an episode tease…

Fox’s description of the premiere: “MONARCH is a Texas-sized, multi-generational musical drama about country music royalty. The Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough as nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman (Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon) and her beloved husband, Albie Roman (multi-Platinum country music star and three-time Academy of Country Music Award winner Trace Adkins). Dottie and Albie 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 (Golden Globe nominee Anna Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.”
