Each episode will be based on one of Dolly’s iconic songs. Dolly will introduce each installment herself, Deadline reported, and will explain the meaning behind the hit that inspired what viewers are about to watch. They will all be stand-alone stories, though, and each will have its own cast.

Is there a trailer?

Yes, and it will literally give you goosebumps. The trailer begins with a voiceover by none other than Dolly herself:

"Songs—they're just stories put to music. Songs that I’ve written, they’re stories of my life—every triumph, every struggle, every smile, every sorrow. It’s the melody of my memories. It’s the sound of my heartstrings."

The rest of the trailer offers a sneak peek at each episode—all featuring Dolly and various members of the cast—which will showcase the stories behind some of her most beloved hits.

Do we know what the episodes are?

According to Netflix, there will be eight episodes in the anthology series. Here's what you can expect to see:

  • “Jolene”

  • “These Old Bones”

  • “J.J. Sneed”

  • “If I Had Wings”

  • “Cracker Jack”

  • “Sugar Hill”

  • “Down From Dover”

  • “Two Doors Down”

Who is in the cast?

So many award-winning celebs have signed on for a role in Dolly’s show. Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough is playing Jolene, while Ginnifer Goodwin and Kathleen Turner will appear as Genevieve and Miss Mary Shaw, respectively. Kimberly Williams-Paisley is also slated to star in one of the episodes.

The first photos of Heartstrings have also been released (above), and Dolly and the rest of her crew look amazing. Julianne is practically unrecognizable as her character Jolene, a waitress who has dreams of making it big in the music world.

Anyone else down for a Dolly listening/viewing party?!
