PEOPLE has shared a first look at NBC's upcoming original film DOLLY PARTON'S COAT OF MANY COLORS, premiering Thursday, December 10 on NBC (9-11 p.m. ET).
The film stars 8-year-old Alyvia Alyn Lind as a young Dolly, and features Jennifer Nettles (Broadway's CHICAGO) as her mom Avie Lee Parton and Rick Schroder as her dad Robert Lee Parton.
About the film: "Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" is based on the inspiring true story of living legend Dolly Parton's remarkable upbringing. This once-in-a-lifetime movie special takes place inside the tight-knit Parton family as they struggle to overcome devastating tragedy and discover the healing power of love, faith, and a raggedy patchwork coat that helped make Parton who she is today.
The film is set in the Tennessee Great Smokey Mountains in 1955. It is neither a biopic nor musical about Dolly's whole life and performing career, but rather a family-oriented faith-based story about the incidents in her and her family's life around the time she was 9 years old.
Alyvia Lind will portray 9-year-old Dolly Parton, with Jennifer Nettles as Parton's mother, Rick Schroeder as her father and Gerald McRaney as her grandfather.
"Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" is written by Pamela K. Long. She executive produces with Sam Haskell and Dolly Parton. The film is a production of Magnolia Hill Entertainment and DP Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
