George Jones and Tammy Winette were married for six years between 1969 and 1975, but they worked in the duo for much longer. The relationship was both passionate and turbulent, and it will certainly contribute to creating quality drama.

Katherine Pope, Head of Spectrum Originals:
“I first read the script for Abe's feature film a few years ago and I couldn't get it out of my head. The exploration of human frailty and redemption was very unexpected given the glitz and glamor surrounding it. We all thought we knew who Tammy Wynette was. But there is much more in it that we have never seen. Jessica has an incredible depth of intelligence, compassion and strength to bring this image to the screen. "
Keith Cox, President of ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth Studios:
“I've been a huge fan of George and Tammy's iconic music since childhood, which led me to seek out this incredible script from Abe. It's a dream come true to see Jessica at the forefront of Tammy Winette's complex story. We are thrilled to share this two-legend TV series with the world on the streaming service ViacomCBS and Paramount Network. ”
Abe Sylvia:
“I am thrilled to bring this incredible story to life with the breadth that it deserves and that today's online platforms allow. Tammy Winette is an American icon and I can't think of anyone better to play this legendary woman than Jessica Chastain. After being privileged to write “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” for Freckle Films and Searchlight, I look forward to working with them again. This project was really important for Andrew, Josh and me. We are so grateful to our partners Catherine Pope, Keith Cox and David Glasser for their tireless support of our work. ”
