Trace Adkins' next acting project is a Fox drama series called Monarch. Variety reports that the series will debut midseason on January 30th immediately after the NFC Championship game.
Adkins will star alongside Susan Sarandon and Anna Friel. He plays Albie Roman, who with his wife, played by Sarandon, have created a country music dynasty. Variety reports that “even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown Nicolette “Nicky” Roman (Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.”
Adkins' new album, The Way I Wanna Go, was released last month.
