This isn’t the first time that Parton’s music has been adapted for the screen. In 1980, 9 to 5 was turned into a feature film of the same name, starring Parton alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as three office workers who seek to overthrow their sexist boss. That film led to a spin-off television series that ran for five seasons, as well as a Broadway musical, and Parton said earlier this year that a film sequel is currently in the works.

In 2008, Jessica Chastain made her film debut in Jolene, a drama inspired by Parton’s iconic track about her partner’s red-haired mistress. Three years ago, meanwhile, Parton wrote the script for a TV movie based on her song Coat of Many Colours, which tells the story of her hardscrabble childhood growing up in Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains in the Fifties.

Parton also has a long history of writing music for films, including 1992’s Straight Talk and 2005’s Transamerica. She received death threats for contributing a song to the latter, thanks to the film’s positive portrayal of a transgender character. Currently, she is working on the soundtrack for upcoming musical comedy film Dumplin’, starring Jennifer Aniston as the mother of a plus-size teenager dealing with worries about her weight.

The Netflix series based on Parton’s music is set to premiere in 2019. We already can’t wait.
