\"We've got two scripts and we're waiting for the last rewrite,\" Parton told HLN's Robin Meade. \"So as soon as we all sign off on that, I'd say in the next few months we'll be in production.\"

This weekend, Parton opened Wildwood Grove, the new expansion of her Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

The star also recently launched her own lifestyle brand and has an upcoming Netflix series in the works -- she's clearly using that \"9 to 5\" work ethic.

ABC News' Hayley Fitzpatrick contributed to this report.
