Susan Sarandon, known for her roles in “Thelma and Louise,” “Little Women,” “Bad Moms,” and the iconic sitcom “Friends,” has been one of Hollywood’s biggest names since the 1970s (via IMDb). Trace Adkins, on the other hand, is a country music maven and has topped the Billboard Hot Country charts with hits like “You’re Gonna Miss This” and “Ladies Love Country Boys.” Now, the unlikely dup are teaming up for Fox’s much-anticipated musical drama “Monarch.”
The series follows the Roman family, headed by Sarandon’s character Dottie Cantrell Roman and Adkins’ character “Texas Truthteller” Albie Roman. According to IMDb, they’re joined by International Emmy Award winner Anna Friel, who will play the role of Nicolette “Nicky” Roman, and singer-turned-actress Beth Ditto, who will portray the character of Gigi Taylor-Roman. The Roman clan are given the title of “the first family of country music” in an official trailer for the show. However, it quickly becomes evident that “Monarch” has a juicy storyline that both country music fans and drama lovers will easily get sucked into.
