COUNTRY MUSIC ROYALTY ARRIVES ON A SPECIAL ENCORE OF THE SERIES PREMIERE OF "MONARCH" SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, ON FOX

Series Makes Time Period Premiere Tuesday, September 20 on FOX!

MONARCH is a Texas-sized, multi-generational musical drama about country music royalty. The Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough as nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman (Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon) and her beloved husband, Albie Roman (multi-Platinum country music star and three-time Academy of Country Music Award winner Trace Adkins). Dottie and Albie have created a country music dynasty. But 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 (Golden Globe nominee Anna Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family's legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom on a special encore of the "Stop at Nothing" series premiere episode of MONARCH airing Sunday, Sept. 11 (9:01-10:00 PM ET / 8:01-9:01 PM CT / 7:01-8:00 PM MT / 8:00-9:00 PM PT) on FOX.
