You can catch Jennifer Nettles on the small screen this weekend as the HBOmax comedy The Righteous Gemstones launches its second season. The solo star and member of chart-topping country duo Sugarland will return to her role of Aimee-Leigh Gemstone.

Appearing only in flashbacks, Aimee-Leigh is the late wife of Dr. Eli Gemstone (played by John Goodman), the patriarch of the world-famous televangelist Gemstone family.

Jennifer's acting skills are already well-documented. She also appeared in the cast of Harriet, a biopic about the life of Harriet Tubman and in the cast of the Broadway musical versions of Chicago and Waitress.
