New show premiere: ‘Monarch’ (9 p.m., Fox)

Think of this new Texas-set soapy drama series about a multi-generational country music family as the country version of Fox’s “Empire.” That means music, in-fighting, sex, endless power struggles and murder.

Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon and country singer Trace Adkins lead the cast, playing Dottie and Albie Roman. In the trailer for the series, Dottie describes the Romans as “the First Family of Country Music,” to which we say: “The Carters would like a word.”

The trailer tells us that country stars such as Shania Twain, Tanya Tucker, Martina McBride and Little Big Town will make cameo appearances playing themselves.

Programming note: This series had a special premiere on Sunday, Sept. 11, after the NFL on Fox season opener, but moves to its regular time slot tonight.

Some programming descriptions are provided by networks.
