‘Monarch’ is a new FOX series that revolves around a family that’s at the heart of country music. The Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough-as-nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman, played by Susan Sarandon, and her beloved husband, ‘Texas Truthteller’ Albie Roman, played by 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, played by Anna Friel, will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.
The Roman family also includes middle child Luke Roman, played by Joshua Sasse. Luke is the CEO of the family’s business, Monarch Entertainment. And then there’s Gigi Taylor-Roman, played by Beth Ditto. Gigi has an incredible voice, but she’s always felt like an outcast. See more photos of the ‘Monarch’ cast in our gallery.
