OMG! Beloved Pacific Northwest queer rock goddess Beth Ditto is starring in a brand new narrative drama on Fox starting on January 30th! With Susan Sarandon!!!!

And, it all sounds like it’s a rip off of The Judds!!!!

MONARCH Series premieres Sunday, January 30

MONARCH is an epic, multi-generational musical drama about America’s first family of country music. In MONARCH, the Romans are passionate and fiercely talented, but while their name is synonymous with honesty, the very foundation of this family’s success is a lie. When dangerous truths bubble to the surface, the Romans’ reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy. Nicky Roman, the brilliant and fierce heir to the crown, already battling an industry and world stacked against her, will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy. It’s finally her turn. But is it too late?

Who’s gonna watch this?

We LOVE Beth Ditto!!!!!
