Wynonna Judd has had a pretty rough year following the tragic death of her mother and duet partner, Naomi Judd.

Everyone expected the singer to take some time off and mourn her loss, but much to everyone's surprise, Judd decided that the best way to honor her mother's memory was through performing onstage, just as they have always done.

No one really knows how she's feeling and coping with her grief while on tour for "The Judds: The Final Tour," but everyone is about to find out.

"Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah," the singer's forthcoming documentary will be answering those questions.

The documentary will follow Juss during her toughest times. It will "offer audiences a raw, first-hand glimpse into Judd's life as she bravely embarks on her next chapter following Naomi Judd's untimely passing," the press release said.

That includes the behind-the-scenes of the tour, onstage, as well as interviews from Judd's fellow country artists and friends, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Trisha Yearwood, and Ashley McBryde.

'Toughest Seasons'

This documentary is set to stream on Apr. 26 via Paramount+, but the world premiere is not until Jul 29. It was produced by Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine, MTV Entertainment Studios, and Sandbox Productions.

The CEO of Sandbox Productions, Jason Owen, reflected on what pushed them to work on this documentary: "The Judds will forever be one of country music's most iconic and storied duos. [...] 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."

Judd also released a statement about her upcoming documentary: "It's real and it's raw. 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."

Naomi Judd

According to reports, Naomi Judd died a day before being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

It was also revealed later that was it revealed that the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

"We have always shared openly both the joys of being family as well as its sorrows, too," read the Judd family's statement. "One part of our story is that our matriarch was dogged by an unfair foe."

"She was treated for PTSD and bipolar disorder, to which millions of Americans can relate."
