Miranda Lambert‘s music is coming to the small screen, with a show inspired by the 42-year-old country superstar’s music in the works. Deadline reports that Sony Pictures Television is developing the untitled project for Hulu.
The series is described as “Big Little Lies gone honky-tonk,” which, if you know anything about Lambert’s music, seems like it will fit right in. According to the official synopsis, the show “follows a messy female friendship as one friend helps the other escape her abusive marriage. But when they try to start over in a small Texas town, their past will threaten to catch up to them, and they’ll discover their new home has as many secrets as they do.”
Judalina Neira will act as showrunner and will also write and executive produce the project under her overall deal with Sony Pictures Television. Lambert will serve as an executive producer on the series, as will her longtime manager, Marion Kraft’s Shopkeeper Management.
The show’s storyline may sound familiar to fans of Lambert, who grew up in a small town in Texas with a father who was a policeman turned private detective and a mother who worked with investigations. During her childhood, the singer’s parents would open their home to women in abusive relationships, and Lambert got to know them and their daughters, learning about domestic abuse. It was from those stories that she was inspired to write one of her early hits, “Gunpowder and Lead” from her 2007 album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
“My parents didn’t let kids stop their lifestyle. They just brought us along wherever they were going, whether it was parties, or to do surveillance, or whatever,” she also told NPR in 2011. “I’m glad because we weren’t sheltered from that — I mean we were, in a way, because we were going to church every Sunday and in this safe, awesome Texas home — but we got to hear about how bad it can be.”
The 42-year-old has kept up that truth-telling throughout her career, making for real and raw music that will likely lend itself well to her new television series. She’s nominated for four Grammys at the 2026 awards; Best Contemporary Country Album for Postcards from Texas, Best Country Song for her Chris Stapleton duet “A Song to Sing” and received Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “A Song to Sing” and “Trailblazer” with Reba McEntire & Lainey Wilson.
“To me, country music is about real life, the good and the bad,” Lambert previously told NPR. “That’s why country started, and it was because of Hank Williams telling true stories. And I don’t see why a woman can’t tell the truth just as fast as a man can.”
