A new Hulu series based on Miranda Lambert‘s music is in the works, according to Deadline.
Described as “Big Little Lies gone honky-tonk,” the show focuses on a friend who helps another escape an abusive marriage. Their past threatens to catch up with them, however, when they start over in a tiny Texas town.
Miranda is one of the executive producers, along with her manager, Marion Kraft. Judalina Neira, who previously worked on Daisy Jones & The Six, The Boys and The Morning Show, would run the production.
So far, we don’t know what the show will be called or when it might arrive.

Taylor Swift proved she could do it with a broken heart on The Eras Tour, and she opens up about it in a new episode of her Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era.
In episode four, which is now streaming, Taylor reveals, “There were points in this tour when the tour was really the only thing that was really keeping me going in my life. … I went through two breakups on the first half of this tour, and that’s a lot of breakups, actually.”
All that left her feeling, she says, like, “I’m not a person, I’m just this, like, big conglomerate that no one sees as a real human being, especially not men that I date.”
That is, until her mother, Andrea Swift, happened to see a headline about a Kansas City Chiefs player complaining that he brought a friendship bracelet to the Eras Tour but didn’t get to meet Taylor.
“So I call up my resident expert on the Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I go, ‘Tell me about this guy named Travis Kelce,'” Andrea says in the episode. “She goes, ‘Oh my God, he is the nicest guy! And he really loves his mom.’ And I went, ‘Ding, ding, ding, ding.'”
Taylor then picks up the story from her mom: “So you call me with this tone of, ‘Hey, so, I know you’re not gonna react well to this, but there’s a guy.’ … You said something to the effect of, ‘You gotta start doing something different.’”
Taylor notes, “If you ever would have ever told me that the most meaningful relationship I would ever have would start with a man saying he was ‘butt hurt’ that I didn’t want to meet him — unbelievable.”

The Oasis reunion was one of the biggest rock tours of 2025, and guitarist Gem Archer had a feeling it might be massive after getting his first look at the set list.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Archer tells Guitar World. “I was like, ‘Wow – and we haven’t even gotten to “Supersonic” yet!’ It was just ridiculous from there.”
“The boys had been sorting it out for ages,” he adds. “It got amended; we’d started with, I think, 27 songs, and it ended up being 23.”
The set list stayed consistent throughout the whole tour and included classics such as “Wonderwall,” “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Champagne Supernova.”
“Those songs, played in that order, are just unbeatable,” Archer says.
The tour also marked the first Oasis lineup to feature both Archer and guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs.
“Playing with him, it’s like he’s the bedrock – he’s the glue that makes everything else sound great,” Archer says of Arthurs. “He’s overlooked as a rhythm guitarist in a way ’cause he has this feel.”
As for whether the Oasis reunion will continue to tour beyond 2025, that remains unknown. After the tour concluded in November, Oasis stated, “There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”
Brett Young is bringing 2025 to a close with a cover of a Justin Bieber song.
Brett offers a stripped-back country take on “Yukon,” from Bieber’s seventh studio album, Swag, which came out in July. “Yukon” topped Billboard‘s Rhythmic Airplay chart in September and went on to be nominated for best R&B performance at the upcoming 68th Grammys.
Brett’s set to kick off his 2.0 Tour Jan. 22 at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. He’ll play nearly 20 dates before wrapping the run Feb. 28 in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
The tour takes its name from Brett’s fourth studio album, which came out in June. Its lead single, “Drink with You,” continues its climb on the country chart.
Musical guest Cher, host Ariana Grande and Bowen Yang during promos on Thursday, December 18, 2025 (Rosalind O’Connor/NBC)
Ariana Grande gets her Moonstruck moment in a new set of promos for this weekend’s edition of Saturday Night Live, which she’s hosting.
Cher is the musical guest, and in one promo, Ari and SNL star Bowen Yang fawn over her. “Cher! Am I dreaming?” Bowen asks. The entertainment icon then slaps both of them simultaneously and commands, “Snap out of it!” — echoing her most famous line from the Oscar-winning movie Moonstruck.
“Cher just slapped us!” Ari and Bowen gush as Cher rolls her eyes.
In a second promo, Cher announces, “I got you both a gift!” “We got a gift from Cher? What is it?” Bowen asks. “My presence,” Cher jokes, before all three shrug sheepishly.
Saturday will mark Cher’s first time appearance on Saturday Night Live since 1987, though she did perform at the SNL50 Homecoming Concert in February. Since this is the final episode before Christmas, it’s possible that Cher will sing her newly released holiday song, “Christmas Is Here.”
Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday, Ari revealed that she met Cher for the first time while filming the promos. Of the icon, she said, “She’s just the one and only. It’s so spectacular and she’s just brilliant. I’m so excited.”
