Veteran entertainer Dolly Parton has landed a major new deal with executives at NBC Entertainment to turn her songs into Tv movies.

The country music superstar has reteamed with Nbc Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt, who produced Parton's 9 to 5: The Musical Broadway show, to adapt a handful of her biggest hits into small screen dramas.

Announcing the news at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour on Friday (16Jan15), Greenblatt said, "We're going to try and create uplifting movies the entire family can enjoy together."

Parton says, "I am so excited to be involved with my friend Bob Greenblatt... We want to create projects for Nbc that are both fun and inspirational with a family audience in mind."

It is not yet clear which of the singer's songs will inspire the movies, or if she'll actually appear in any of them.
