“Monarch,” the country music drama starring Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins, has been canceled after one season on Fox, IndieWire has confirmed.
The show will not return for a second season and will end after Tuesday night’s season – now series – finale.
“Monarch” aimed to be a soapy character drama in the vein of “Nashville” about The Romans, billed as the first family of country music who have built a recording dynasty across generations. But when their dynasty’s reign is put in jeopardy, the family’s matriarch Nicolette Roman (Anna Friel) stops at nothing to restore their family’s legacy.
And though the season premiere was Fox’s most-watched scripted series debut in three years, seen by 3.8 million viewers with a 0.8 score in the key demo, its remaining 10 episodes struggled and averaged far below that initial high mark. The premiere got a big bump following an NFL double header...

Fox has canceled “Monarch,” which starred Susan Sarandon as a country music diva, after one season, a network spokesperson confirmed Wednesday to TheWrap.
“We gratefully thank and appreciate the entire cast and crew for their dedication to ‘Monarch,'” the network said in a statement. Joshua Sasse, Anna Friel, Beth Ditto and Meagan Holder costarred and real country music stars, including Martina McBride, Little Big Town, Caitlyn Smith and Tanya Tucker made appearances.
The series debuted on Sep. 11, 2022, after an NFL double-header, before switching to its regular time period on Tuesdays. It was the number one drama debut for Fox’s 2022/2023 season and initially outperformed “Our Kind of People,” by 30 in the same time slot in 2021 before dipping in subsequent episodes.

The 2022 CMT Music Awards were handed out on Monday night, April 11, at 8:00pm Eastern on CBS. These awards honor the best in country music videos, but unlike the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Awards, which are voted on by industry peers, these awards are decided by fans. So who were the big winners? Scroll down for the complete list.
Kane Brown co-hosted the event with Kelsea Ballerini and Anthony Mackie, and he also led with four nominations including Video of the Year for “One Mississippi.” That category started with 12 nominees when they were initially announced. Fan votes then narrowed that down to the top six, and the day of the show we learned the final three: Brown’s “One Mississippi,” Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood‘s “If I Didn’t Love You,” and Cody Johnson‘s “Til You Can’t.”
Johnson and breakthrough artist Breland followed with three nominations apiece.

Country star Kane Brown leads the list of nominations for the 2022 CMT Music Awards with four, followed by three apiece for Kelsea Ballerini, Mickey Guyton, Breland and Cody Johnson.
Joining the latter two artists as first-time nominees are Brittney Spencer, Caitlyn Smith, Elvie Shane, MacKenzie Porter, Priscilla Block and Tenille Arts, and two non-country artists who appeared as guests on CMT during the year, H.E.R. and Paul Klein of Lany.
Carly Pearce, who is up for two awards, helped announce the nominations Wednesday morning on CBS, which will air the CMT Awards for the first time this year, in a bumping up of what used to be CMT’s flagship show to a new awards tentpole for the broadcast network. The show will be broadcast live from Nashville in a three-hour prime-tie slot on CBS.
Brown and Ballerini co-hosted last year’s CMT Awards; this year; Ballerini shares the duties with actor Anthony Mackie.

This year’s Academy of Country Music Awards nominations had some glaring omissions and controversial inclusions (more on that below). With the show coming soon on March 7, let’s take a look at the artist categories and predict who will win.
Entertainer of the Year
Every year there’s hope that the biggest award of the night will finally go to a woman, and every year we are disappointed it hasn’t. Carrie Underwood won in 2020, but it was a tie with a male artist, Thomas Rhett. And before that you’d have to go back to 2012 to find a female winner — Taylor Swift — and that was when this category was decided by fans and not the academy. With no clear front-runner here, I’ll predict (yet again) an Underwood win, although there’s a good chance it just goes to one of the three men: Eric Church, Chris Stapleton,...

Two heads are better than one, so they say, and the Academy of Country Music voting members would seem to agree. As nominations for the 2022 ACM Awards rolled in on Thursday, numerous collaborative singles like Chris Young and Kane Brown’s “Famous Friends” found their way into major categories alongside Walker Hayes’ breakout hit “Fancy Like” and Morgan Wallen, who was banned from the 2021 ACM Awards after his racial-slur controversy.

Old Dominion have released their first new music since 2019. The breezy new single “I Was on a Boat That Day,” out Friday, is the ACM-winning group’s lead offering from an upcoming project.
With its appropriately buoyant rhythm and hum-along melodies underpinned by accordion, “I Was on a Boat That Day” nearly masks the fact that it’s a breakup song. “I remember it like yesterday, ‘cause it was,” frontman Matthew Ramsey sings at the top. He pushes off from the dock and floats while she’s back home packing up to leave.

Rita Wilson has shared the new video for her recent single “I Wanna Kiss Bob Dylan,” the actress-singer’s ode to the rock laureate.
“The stream of consciousness hit me while initially writing the song, I went so deep into a fantasy of what Bob Dylan might be like, and that no matter who you are, your imagination can expand into being that person,” Wilson said of the track in a statement.

It’s been nearly a week since a series of tornadoes struck the Nashville area on March 3rd, causing widespread damage in the city’s densely populated neighborhoods — including the destruction of beloved music venue the Basement East — and killing more than two dozen people in the surrounding area. Volunteers have been working overtime to clear streets and yards or bring food and other necessities to affected areas, but it’s going to be a long road to recover and rebuild.

Tragedy struck earlier this month when — for unknown reasons that will hopefully be explained by a hard-hitting true crime podcast at some point in the future — “Glasgow” from “Wild Rose” was denied a nomination for Best Original Song at the Oscars this year. In a season full of terrible snubs that made all too much sense, this one was truly baffling. Co-written by Caitlyn Smith, Kate York, and Academy Award-winning actress Mary Steenburgen, and sung to soul-lifting perfection by Jessie Buckley, this gorgeous country anthem must not have fit into the songwriting branch’s increasingly narrow idea of what an Oscar-worthy song should sound like.
And yet, in a decision that historians of the future will describe as “perverse,” the Academy has decided not to scrap the entire category out of shame. Indeed, there will still be a Best Original Song trophy handed out at the Oscars this year, and...

One week ahead of the release of their ninth studio album, Little Big Town offer an advance listen to the title cut from Nightfall.
“Turn the lights down, we can watch the stars crawl/You and I fall, baby, when the night falls,” Karen Fairchild sings, as her bandmates harmonize behind her through a gauzy, stargazing track that echoes the self-assured romanticism of vintage Fleetwood Mac. “Nightfall” was penned by Fairchild with Fancy Hagood (also known as Who Is Fancy) and Daniel Tashian, the Grammy-winning co-producer of Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour.

Mary Steenburgen is known for her decades of work as an actor, picking up an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her turn in “Melvin and Howard.” But she woke up from a minor surgery on her arm in 2007 feeling “very strange.” “My old brain wasn’t really the same anymore,” she explains, adding, “It was replaced by a musical brain.” That fateful event opened up a new career path for Steenburgen as a songwriter, and her country tune “Glasgow” provides a glorious closing moment to the film “Wild Rose.” And this weekend, she received a Critics’ Choice nomination for Best Original Song. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Steenburgen’s “new musical brain” had her hearing music in her head constantly, despite not having a musical background. Every experience generated music. Instead of allowing this startling change drive her crazy, the Oscar winner decided to find a way to incorporate it into her life.
