In his first on-camera TV role since wrapping his seven- six-season run as Once Upon a Time’s Killian Jones aka Captain Hook, O’Donoghue will headline an episode of the streamer’s forthcoming Dolly Parton-themed anthology series, Heartstrings, which dramatizes the stories behind some of the music icon’s most memorable songs.
