Wynonna Judd is giving fans an inside look into her life and career with WYNONNA JUDD: BETWEEN HELL AND HALLELUJAH, coming soon to Paramount+.  

The feature-length documentary will follow the country music icon as she navigates the next phase of her life and career following the 2022 death of her mother, Naomi Judd.

“It’s real and it’s raw [and] It’s celebration and sadness,” Wynonna shared in a statement. ”It’s all of the people who I leaned on during one of the toughest seasons of my life. I wanted the opportunity to tell my story in my voice. If doing so helps one person out there choose life, then I am grateful.”

THE JUDDS: LOVE IS ALIVE – THE FINAL CONCERT

Following the premiere of WYNONNA JUDD: BETWEEN HELL AND HALLELUJAH, CMT will air THE JUDDS: LOVE IS ALIVE – THE FINAL CONCERT on Saturday, April 29 at 8:00 PM, ET/PT. The concert special will air just one day prior to the one-year anniversary of Naomi Judd’s death.

The two-hour concert special follows Wynonna’s history-making homecoming return to the Murphy Center at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), recreating The Judds’ 1991 farewell tour for a special televised event featuring Wynonna’s tourmates Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town and Martina McBride, all sharing the same bill for the first time ever.  

“The Judds will forever be one of country music’s most iconic and storied duos. Their original 1991 farewell concert was entertainment at its finest and being able to recreate that concert with Wynonna and so many talented artists is something I will cherish forever,” said Sandbox Productions CEO Jason Owen, who produced both the concert special and documentary.

We hope that Wynonna’s strength and vulnerability help others experiencing grief. We also hope that her humor, her heart and her powerful voice inspire viewers as much as they did us. This is a very special story,” said Sara Rea, head of unscripted for Hello Sunshine.
