Billy Ray Cyrus In Greenbrier Filming Comedy Series

GREENBRIER TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – On Tuesday, CMT film crews were in the Robertson County area filming a comedy series called “Still The King” a CMT comedy that stars Singer/Actor Billy Ray Cyrus.

View a short trailer of “Still The King”

Still the King is scheduled to debut early 2016. Cyrus plays the role of Vernon Brown — aka Burnin’ Vernon — a washed-up, a scandal-ridden, one-hit wonder who is kicked out of country music but emerges  20 years later as an Elvis impersonator.

During a drunken bender he is sentenced to return and perform community service after crashing into an old country church outside of Nashville. Vernon pretends to be the congregation’s new minister and later discovers that he has a 15-year-old daughter he’s never met.

Cyrus serves as executive producer and writer of Still the King by Hideout Pictures.
