Dolly Parton is heading to Netflix once again.
As per a recent announcement, the country titan's star-studded honorary concert special, Dolly Parton: A MusiCares Tribute, will hit the streaming platform on April 7. The special was filmed back in 2019 and features the likes of Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, Willie Nelson and Parton's goddaughter Miley Cyrus. Parton was the first country artist to earn the MusiCares Person of the Year title. Among its past recipients since the honor's 1991 inception include Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Carole King and Aerosmith.
"I am so happy that Netflix is going to be showing the MusiCares tribute to me," Parton said in a statement. "MusiCares has done so much for the people in this industry and continues to be a beacon of light for those in need. I am so proud and impressed with all of the great artists. It was such a joy and a humbling experience to be able to sit and watch all of the great artists singing songs that I had written or had been a part of."
Dolly Parton: A MusiCares Tribute was hosted by Little Big Town, raised more than $6.7 million for MusiCares and aimed at providing assistance to artists and their families. While Parton hit the stage during the special, the concert also included special numbers from Leon Bridges, Chris Stapleton and Yolanda Adams.
She has previously collaborated with the streaming giant on several executive producing and co-starring projects like Dolly Parton's Heartstrings and Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square.
