Channel Seven released a sneak-peek at the two-part mini-seriesOlivia,which stars Goodrem as Newton-John and covers her more than five decades in the spotlight.
The life of one of Australia's biggest stars,Olivia Newton-John's is dramatised starring Delta Goodrem.
The trailer touches on Newton-John's teen stardom days (played by actress Morgan Griffin),through to her 1974 Eurovision stint,her star turn as Sandy in musicalGrease,and hit singlesXanadu (1980) and Physical (1981).
Delta Goodrem as Olivia Newton-John and Gyton Grantley as Roger Davies.
Goodrem - in her first major acting role since 2005'sHating Alison Ashley(she had an extended cameo on Ten'sHouse Husbands last year) - called Newton-John one of her earliest influences.
"I grew up with Olivia's energy and beautiful voice in my world through her music,and then from an early age I was truly blessed to find friendship and mentorship from Olivia. I am deeply humbled to play my idol and friend,"she said in a statement.
The cast also includes Kate Jenkinson as Newton-John's friend and former singing partner Pat Carroll,Richard Brancatisano as ex-husband Matt Lattanzi,and Gyton Grantley as manager Roger Davies.
The series,produced by Seven and Fremantle Media and filmed in Victoria,is Seven's latest jab at a contemporary biopic,following TV films on INXS and Molly Meldrum.
The network will be hoping for a better response than it received to last year’sHoges:The Paul Hogan Story,which earned disastrous reviews and poor ratings.
Olivia - or its mouthier titleOlivia Newton-John:Hopelessly Devoted To You - is set to air after Seven's coverage of the Commonwealth Games ends in mid-April.
