Riley Keough & Sam Claflin Navigate The Sex, Drugs & Rock N’ Roll Life In Series Arriving March 3

Feb 15, 2023

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else’s muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story.” ― that’s a direct quote from “Daisy Jones & The Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a hugely popular novel that’s been turned into an all-star Amazon prime mini-series by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, who broke into the business with “500 Days of Summer,” and went on to have a lot of success with teen YA work like “The Spectacular Now,” “The Fault in Our Stars,” and “Paper Towns.”

They’ve adapted “Daisy Jones and The Six,” which essentially looks at sex, drugs, and a Fleetwood Mac-esque fictional band rock band in the 1970s from their rise in the LA music scene. They become one of the most legendary bands in the world, and the book and series explore the reason behind their split at the height of their success.
The cast includes Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Camila Morrone, Will Harrison, Suki Waterhouse, Josh Whitehouse, Sebastian Chacon, Nabiyah Be, Tom Wright, and a guest appearance by Timothy Olyphant. 
Directors of the series include James Ponsoldt (“The Spectacular Now,” “The End Of The Tour”),  Nzingha Stewart (“Never Better,” “Tall Girl 2”), and Will Graham (“Movie 43,” “A League Of Their Own”). Reese Witherspoon is among the producers, like Lauren Neustadter, Brad Mendelsohn, Scott Neustadter, Will Graham, and James Ponsoldt.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Based on the New York Times best-selling novel Daisy Jones & the Six follows the story of the iconic 1970s band, fronted by two feuding yet charismatic lead singers, Daisy Jones, and Billy Dunne. Drawn together by personal and artistic chemistry, their complicated musical partnership catapulted the band from obscurity to unbelievable fame. And then, after a sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, they suddenly called it quits. Now, decades later, the band members finally agree to reveal the truth. Set to the soundtrack of original music from Daisy Jones & the Six—this is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers.
This one is just a mini-series, so they don’t have to worry about longevity. Still, surely Prime Video hopes it does better than the similar series, “Roadies,” from director Cameron Crowe which barely lasted one season on Showtime in 2016 (and was canceled less than four months after it premiered). Regardless, rock dreams spring eternal on March 03, 2023, when “Daisy Jones & The Six” premieres. Watch the new trailer below.
