Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon embody one of country music's legendary couples in George & Tammy trailer
The tumultuous relationship between singing couple Tammy Wynette and George Jones comes to life in Showtime's upcoming drama series
It’s hard to find a duo that defined country music as well as Tammy Wynette and George Jones did during their time together. Literally dubbed “Mr. and Mrs. Country Music” during their seven-year union, the two had a passionate and tumultuous relationship that helped create classics of the genre like “Golden Ring,” “We’re Gonna Hold On,” and their bittersweet post-divorce song “Two Story House.” Now, that winding tale of country’s iconic partnership is being unraveled in the first trailer for Showtime’s George & Tammy.
Starring Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain (The Eyes Of Tammy Faye) as yet another culture-defining Tammy and Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon (Nocturnal Animals) as George, Showtime promises the drama will chronicle the “complicated-but-enduring relationship [that] inspired some of the most iconic music of all time.”
