Fox’s “Monarch” zooms in on Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins’ characters, Dottie and Albie Roman, and the country music dynasty they’ve built. Though the Romans have clearly made a name for themselves in the music industry, their legacy is under threat, as Dottie appears to be sick in one of the show’s trailers. Swooping in to protect the Romans’ place in country music, and steal the crown from mother Dottie, is Nicky Roman — but not without a little competition from her sister, Gigi.
The Roman family will do whatever it takes to maintain their country music reign, including hiding some major secrets and scandals. From family lies to a possible murder, “Monarch” is packed with drama. Fans have been waiting to tune in to the new series for quite some time, as Fox originally planned to premiere “Monarch” in January 2022. However, the network delayed the premiere date due to COVID-19 concerns, per Taste of Country, and the show is now slated to begin airing in fall 2022.
