When to Watch George & Tammy
Showtime set the George & Tammy premiere at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, December 4. New installments will follow weekly until January 8, 2023. Abe Sylvia (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) created and executive-produced the show. The miniseries stars Oscar winner Chastain as Tammy Wynette and Oscar nominee Shannon as George Jones. The cast includes Steve Zahn (The White Lotus), Kelly McCormack (A League of Their Own), and Walton Goggins. Additionally, Pat Healy (Station 19), David Wilson Barnes (Perry Mason), and Katy Mixon (American Housewife).
“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. “Remembered as the ‘First Lady of Country Music,’ Wynette’s most successful song ‘Stand by Your Man’ remains one of the most iconic and best-selling country singles by a female artist. George Jones’ song ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today,’ is still widely called the greatest country song of all time. With over 30 number-one country songs between them, including duets ‘We’re Gonna Hold On,’ ‘Golden Ring,’ and ‘Near You,’ George and Tammy’s legacy, both musically and romantically, remains one of the greatest love stories ever told.”
