Get Ready for Dolly Parton's Netflix Debut
Alright, folks, grab your popcorn and settle in because we’ve got some major news coming your way! Dolly Parton, the queen of country music, is set to produce and star in an upcoming Netflix series based on her incredible life. And guess what? The scoop came out during a panel discussion for the hit Netflix show Grace & Frankie, where Dolly's longtime friends, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, may have accidentally spilled the beans. These three legends starred together in the iconic 1980 film 9 to 5, so their connection runs deep.
During the panel, Deadline reporter Pete Hammond asked the dynamic duo, Lily and Jane, if Dolly would ever make a guest appearance on Grace & Frankie. That’s when Lily, 78, and Jane, 80, let the cat out of the bag. Lily casually mentioned that Dolly, 72, might not have the time since she’s busy working on her very own Netflix project. Whoa! But wait, there’s more. Lily went on to share that the series will be a collection of films inspired by Dolly’s life and her beloved songs, including her 2015 movie Coat of Many Colors. Plus, Dolly will only appear in the series when the script calls for it. Talk about exciting!

What to Expect from Dolly's Anthology Series
Later on, Deadline confirmed that Netflix has officially greenlit an eight-episode anthology series centered around Dolly Parton's life. Each episode will be inspired by one of her legendary songs. In a statement about the project, Dolly said, “As a songwriter, I have always enjoyed telling stories through my music. I am thrilled to be bringing some of my favorite songs to life with Netflix. We hope our show will inspire and entertain families and folks of all generations, and I want to thank the good folks at Netflix and Warner Bros. TV for their incredible support.”
This is more than just a series—it's a celebration of Dolly's remarkable career and the stories behind her timeless tunes. It’s like diving into her world, where every song has a story and every story has a song. Fans can expect heartfelt moments, laughter, and maybe even a few tears as they journey through Dolly's life through this unique anthology format.
Could a 9 to 5 Sequel Be in the Works?
Now that Lily, Jane, and Dolly are all working with Netflix, could this mean a sequel to 9 to 5 is more likely to happen? It seems like it! Dolly recently opened up to Entertainment Tonight about the possibility. “Until just recently, with all the talk about equal work for equal pay and the backlash against workplace harassment, we decided that we’re going to try to do another one,” she revealed. “We’re working on the script and everything. Everyone is really interested, and we’ve all agreed that we’d love to do it if it’s right.”
Dolly added, “They presented me with an idea the other day, and I said, ‘Yes.’ This new idea will bring in some fresh faces, and they’re going to find us, the original characters. We’ve all built our own business, so they come to seek our advice.” Sounds like the perfect mix of nostalgia and new beginnings, doesn’t it?
