George & Tammy is based on the book, The Three of Us: Growing Up with Tammy and George, penned by the couple’s daughter, Georgette Jones.
“The limited drama chronicles the country music power couple, Tammy Wynette and George Jones, whose complicated-but-enduring relationship inspired some of the most iconic music of all time,” reads the synopsis.
The miniseries stars Oscar winner Chastain as Tammy Wynette and Oscar nominee Shannon as George Jones.
George Jones’ song ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today,’ is still widely called the greatest country song of all time.
