marks the second such partnership between ViacomCBS-backed Paramount Network and Spectrum following Josh Hartnett dramaThe structure of the deal allows ViacomCBS to share the costs associated with the series — which figure to be high given Chastain's involvement as well as the rights to the book and expected music production values — while also still having the valuable second-window streaming rights.
“I’ve been a massive fan of George and Tammy’s iconic music since I was a kid, leading me to chase this incredible script by Abe for years,” said Keith Cox, President of ViacomCBS’ Entertainment & Youth Studios. “It’s a dream come true to have Jessica at the forefront of the complex tale behind Tammy Wynette. We are thrilled to share this series about two legends with the world on ViacomCBS forthcoming streaming service and Paramount Network.
Known as the “First Lady of Country Music,” Wynette’s most successful song is “Stand by Your Man,” which ranks as is one of the most iconic and best-selling country singles by a female artist. She had 20 No. 1 songs on the country charts that helped solidify her place as one of the most influential women in music. Her tumultuous marriage to country superstar Jones in 1969 gave life to iconic duets including, “We’re Gonna Hold On,” “Golden Ring” and “Near You.
“I am humbled to bring this incredible story to life with the breadth it deserves and that the Charter platforms allow,” Sylvia said. “Tammy Wynette is an American icon, and I can think of no one better to illuminate the woman behind the legend than Jessica Chastain. After having the honor of penningfor Freckle Films and Searchlight, I so look forward to another collaboration with her.
