NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Although entertainment icon Dolly Parton has left the stage, nearly a dozen projects she had in the pipeline before her Aug. 25 death are still a go.
“Dolly worked up until the day she died,” said her longtime manager Danny Nozell. “Many projects were in various stages of development, and we want to be transparent with her fans about this fact.”
Among those projects is the launch of Dolly Bedding & Home Décor, which is scheduled to land in Q3 2027. Parton’s first branded home collection for the mass market channel debuted at Dollar General in summer 2024 with a collection of cast iron skillets; tabletop, home décor and kitchen tools; and table linens and other kitchen textiles.
Dollar General has updated the collection several times since then, including the fall 2025 launch of a curated holiday assortment comprising pillows, tabletop, oven mitts, kitchen towels, classic cookie cutters, candles, décor, throws and an Advent calendar.
An overview of other active projects at the time of Parton’s passing includes:
- Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stops (celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week beginning September 13, 2026)

Parton’s team plans to announce details about initiatives currently on the drawing board, including a Dolly avatar show, a Dolly Musical documentary, a Dolly biopic, a Dolly docuseries, a Dolly scripted series, and a Billy The Kid animated series.
“Ever the planner, Dolly worked with the team that she handpicked for the past several years to build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come,” said Nozell. “If you see unreleased music, products, books, experiences, and campaigns launched through official Dolly Parton channels, you can have confidence in knowing that she placed her personal stamp on it.”
