Walker Hayes is getting into television, and his first project will be fairly familiar to him. The country star has sold his life rights to Untitled Entertainment to be turned into a television series based on his life. While the series will draw heavily from Hayes’ life, it won’t be a chapter-and-verse biography; instead it will center around someone very much like Hayes, and feature much of how Walker went from high school, to raising a family and pursuing his country music dreams.
Walker’s journey was one involving addiction, poverty, loss and a crisis of faith all while being a husband to his high school sweetheart and a father to a growing brood of children – all of which will be part of the Walker Hayes-type character at the center of the series.
Of the project, Hayes says “My wife Laney and I have had such a wild life and love story. We reflect all the time together, wondering how in the world we got here. The amount of brokenness versus beautiful lends itself to endless amounts of stories to explore. I can’t think of an emotion we haven’t felt together. We never could have imagined a company like Untitled would want to create a scripted drama about our life. Their willingness to welcome and include us in the process has been beyond encouraging. We are excited and grateful for this creative opportunity to share us with the world!” No further details are available, including cast, where the series will air or when.
