Apple TV+ Orders MY KIND OF COUNTRY

Apple TV+ has ordered its first competition series, MY KIND OF COUNTRY.

The series will “revolutionize the music competition genre with a fresh, new documentary sensibility. The hybrid series will break down cultural and musical barriers in the country music space, inviting innovative musicians to unleash their authentic voices and take center stage.”

The series is from Reese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine, Jason Owen, and Izzie Pick Ibarra. Adam Blackstone will serve as musical director of the series, which will be also be executive produced by Done + Dusted.

“Growing up in Nashville, Tennessee, Country music has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember,” Witherspoon wrote on Instagram. “The history of songwriting and recording, the artistry of matching lyrics and chords, the true expression of what is happening to humanity right now… not to mention the dazzling stage performances that bring you to your feet! ✨ There are so many remarkably talented people whose voices are being heard right now, but there are many more who have different experiences and remarkable stories that still need to be told in the genre. I’ve been incredibly inspired by all artists who continue to blaze bold new trails and our hope is to discover musicians who are revolutionizing country music and help amplify their voices and bring the JOY of Country Music to everyone around the world!”
