Lifetime released the trailer for the four-part documentary The Judd Family: Truth Be Told, airing on Mother’s Day weekend, May 10-11, at 8 p.m. ET.

The documentary, directed and executive producer by Alexandra Dean, “delves into the nuanced relationship between The Judds matriarch Naomi Judd and her daughters Ashley and Wynonna. The series seeks to explore the complex mother-daughter dynamics and intergenerational trauma as seen through the eyes of the Judd family.”  

The Judd Family: Truth Be Told also features interviews with country music star Reba McEntire and music producer Don Potter, with Lifetime sharing that the documentary also includes some unreleased songs.

Naomi and Wynonna Judd formed the successful mother-daughter country music duo The Judds, garnering 14 No. 1s on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart in 1980s. Meanwhile, Ashley Judd went on to become a successful actress.  The trailer for the documentary shows Naomi and Wynonna together in the early days of The Judds’ career.

The Judds led headlining tours and notched hits including “Love Can Build a Bridge” and “Why Not Me.” They won five Grammy Awards and nine CMA Awards during their career, before Naomi’s battle with hepatitis C brought the duo’s career to a halt. Wynonna then forged a successful solo career on the strength of songs including “No One Else on Earth” and “Tell Me Why.”

In April 2022, Naomi died by suicide at age 76, one day prior to The Judds’ induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Ashley has attributed her mother’s death due to her struggle with mental illness, of which Ashley has spoken publicly about her own.
