Fox has ordered the country music drama series Monarch for the 2021-2022 broadcast season
. The show, formerly known as “Untitled Country Music Dynasty,” will feature original songs and covers.

The Romans are fiercely talented, but while their name is synonymous with honesty, the very foundation of their success is a lie. When their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, Nicky Roman, the heir to the crown, already battling an industry stacked against her, will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy.
