On Thurs., Dec. 8, ABC News' Superstar series will turn its focus to country legend and multimedia star Reba McEntire. The one-hour broadcast will air at 10 p.m. EST and feature interviews with Carrie Underwood, Wynonna Judd, Vince Gill, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Nick Jonas, Darius Rucker, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Dolly Parton and Kristin Chenoweth.
Per the show description: "this one-hour special explores the experiences, triumphs and losses that made Reba McEntire a household name. Reba broke barriers and built an entertainment empire by expanding her career to movies, the Broadway stage and television. Rare childhood photos and intimate behind-the-scenes videos reveal her story of grit and determination in a male-dominated industry. The program also sheds light on her current relationship with Big Sky co-star Rex Linn, and new details of how she dealt with the tragic plane crash [on March 16, 1991] that ended the lives of her tour manager and seven members of her band."
There's always plenty to cover about McEntire as a recording artist. After all, she's a household name who hasn't missed Billboard's Top Country Albums chart's Top 15 with a non-holiday collection of new material since 1986. Most recently, she sang her first duet with Dolly Parton, a rendition of McEntire's Linda Davis collaboration "Does He Love You," for the Oklahoman's triple album Revived Remixed Revisited.
McEntire and Linn co-star in the current season of Big Sky, which airs on ABC. McEntire plays the villainous Sunny Barnes and has been joined this season by guest stars and fellow country artists Rucker and Lyle Lovett.
Superstar is produced by ABC News. David Sloan is senior executive producer. Muriel Pearson is executive producer. It will stream the next day on Hulu.
