Wynonna Judd Subject of New Documentary, ‘Between Hell and Hallelujah’

Wynonna Judd is telling her story in a new documentary, airing on Parmount+. Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah will premiere on April 26, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Judd, as she moves forward in her life and career, after the tragic loss of her mother, Naomi Judd, last year.

“It’s real and it’s raw,” Judd says. “It’s celebration and sadness. It’s all of the people who I leaned on during one of the toughest seasons of my life. I wanted the opportunity to tell my story in my voice. If doing so helps one person out there choose life, then I am grateful.”

Between Hell and Hallelujah begins with Judd’s decision to honor the dates on The Judds: The Final Tour, which was supposed to be the duo’s last tour together. It continues as Judd adds dates, due to fan demand, joined by Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood, as well as footage of Judd away from the spotlight, at home with her family and animals.

Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah comes ahead of CMT Presents The Judds: Love Is Alive – The Final Concert, which took place at the Murphy Center at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), a recreation of The Judds’ 1991 farewell tour. Judd was joined for that show by McBryde, Carlile, Ballerini, Little Big Town and McBride.

“The Judds will forever be one of country music’s most iconic and storied duos,’ says Sandbox Productions CEO Jason Owen, who produced both the documentary and the concert special. “Their original 1991 farewell concert was entertainment at its finest and being able to recreate that concert with Wynonna and so many talented artists is something I will cherish forever. Watching Wynonna fully embrace this tour to honor The Judds’ legacy was beyond inspiring, and I can’t wait for others to witness her strength in Between Hell and Hallelujah.”

CMT Presents The Judds: Love Is Alive – The Final Concert will premiere on CMT on April 29. Naomi passed away on April 30, 2022, one day before the duo was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame,

“I can’t quite wrap my head around it and I don’t know that I ever will, that she left the way she did,” Judd told People of her mother’s suicide. “That’s how baffling and cunning mental illness is. You have to make peace with the fact that you don’t know. Sometimes there are no answers.”
