A Judd Family Documentary Is Coming to Lifetime—Revealing Secrets Like Never Before!
Get an inside look at the country music family’s complex family dynamics, fame and heartbreak
The Judds were one of the most popular country acts in the genre, but over the course of their time in the spotlight, the family faced countless personal hardships. Naomi Judd had two daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, but Naomi and Wynonna were the talents that made up the musical duo. Tragically, in 2022, Naomi took her own life after a long period of dealing with a series of mental health struggles.
Over the years, their personal struggles often became public knowledge, but an all-new four-part documentary event set to hit Lifetime will pull the curtain back even further, revealing the truth behind the complicated relationships that existed between Naomi and her two daughters. “The documentary explores the complex mother-daughter dynamics and intergenerational trauma as seen through the eyes of The Judd Family,” shared a press release. “In addition to exclusive interviews with Ashley, Wynonna, close family members and those who knew Naomi best, the documentary features never-before-seen photos, home videos, unreleased songs and audio.”
