This story contains spoilers for “Justified & Ancient,” the series finale of Showtime’s “George & Tammy.”Showtime’slimited series “George & Tammy” came to a close Sunday night with the country music legends singing along to Hank Williams’ classic “Lost Highway” during a quieter moment on one of their final tours together.
The finale begins with Tammy’s infamous kidnapping, which she is revealed to have orchestrated in order to hide bruises left by her abusive husband, George Richey . As she descends into a painkiller addiction, a now-sober George Jones and her family plead with her to seek treatment. On their “Together Again” tour, the pair are seen sneaking away for a late-night dalliance, evidence that their romance never died.
Now that the show has concluded, is there anything noticeably different from the vision you first pitched her to what audiences saw on screen? Once you got to be more greedy going from a movie to a series, were there any songs you wanted to get into the show but just couldn’t fit? That idea came from something that Georgette Jones, their daughter, said to us, which was that you can read about Tammy’s death and its macabre and dramatic and operatic, and the temptation is to dramatize all of it. And in some of my early drafts, I did. But it says so much more to just be on Jessica’s face and hear those words, and know that no matter what happened to them, they will never leave us.
She was an open book with us. Thanks to Georgette, there are things in this show that aren’t in her book and that haven’t been discovered until this show. The fact is, they were kissing and hanging out on that last tour. The writers were talking about how the romance couldn’t be dead, but we didn’t want to make up something that wasn’t true. Then we talked to people who told us they were definitely hooking up on that tour.
