Lily Tomlin has never steered us wrong. She let slip over the weekend at a Netflix Emmys event that her good pal Dolly Parton would be getting her own Netflix deal. True to Lily’s word, Netflix has now confirmed the rumor, announcing an eight-part anthology TV film series with each part based on a different Parton classic. Dolly will appear in the series (!), as well as serve as executive producer and singer-songwriter, since, ya know, she wrote the songs. Which songs will be covered hasn’t been revealed just yet, although NBC has already tackled “Coat of Many Colors†in its two movie specials about the legend. A third, planned around “Jolene,†was ordered but has since been scrapped, so it’s an option. We’re personally rooting for a “9 to 5â€â€“themed Gracie and Frankie crossover in the name of necessary fan service.
