Yahoo Lifestyle Jelly Roll Fans Are ‘Very Excited’ for Latest Career Update: 'Here for It’

As announced this week by Billboard, the “Son of a Sinner” singer will be appearing in an upcoming episode of the popular CBS drama Fire Country. The episode is expected to air on April 11.
In a promotional video that Billboard and the show both shared on Instagram on Friday, Jan. 31, show creator and star Max Thieriot announced, “Country music superstar Jelly Roll is making his acting debut on Fire Country.” Jelly Roll will be playing a healthcare worker named Noah, the caption for the promo video explained.

As fans pointed out, Jelly Roll made a brief cameo on the Paramount+ drama last fall. He played himself in a short scene with series star Sylvester Stallone before performing his song “I Am Not Okay” on the show.
