Naomi Judd's Death Predicted? How 'Monarch' Eerily Showed Coincidences Detailed

People were seemingly reminded of Naomi Judd's death again after "Monarch" dropped its first two episodes.

Fox recently released the primetime soap featuring Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins. Fans immediately saw the hair-raising parallels of the show to Judd's death, including the suicide Sarandon's Dottie Cantrell Roman orchestrated and the funeral plans she made before her death.

Deadline said that the latter exactly happened before Judd committed suicide. The funeral in "Monarch" also added the late singer's song, "Love Can Build a Bridge" - the same song Wynonna Judd sang during a memorial for her late mother after Judd died by suicide in her bedroom earlier this year.

In response to these eerie coincidences, the flick's executive producer, Jon Feldman, disclosed how the parallels were possible and if they ever planned to change the scenes.

According to Feldman, the pilot was already planned before he joined the project after replacing Michael Rauch. He added that the show had been under development for years, and those were made before his arrival on the team.

When asked about whether the story was based on the Judds' lives, Feldman said that the series was actually inspired by many country artists.

"Until the death of Naomi, which was really the most tragic and eerie of coincidences, there was no [similarities] between the Romans and the Judds. The Romans are a fictional first family of country. But really, the turn of events of Naomi's death was something no one could have predicted," he went on.

With that, he called the parallels as something "eerie" since it all happened while the world was mourning over her death.

Naomi Judd's Death, "Monarch" Episodes' Similarities Were Strange

His comments resonated with what music industry veteran Jason Owen told PEOPLE.

Owen, who also serves as one of the show's executive producers, said that seeing how art imitates life is "one of the strangest, saddest, eeriest coincidences" he has ever seen.

The news outlet revealed that FOX gave an initial script commitment in 2019, making the story finalized two years before Judd's death. The network then greenlit the series in May 2021.

Judd died by suicide after years of lingering mental health issues. Before the incident happened, she once pledged not to ever claim her own life as she did not want her grandson, Elijah, to investigate her death. He is currently working at the local sheriff's office in Tennessee.
