Will Daisy Jones and The Six be the biggest series of the year?

We have all the gossip here. - by Erin Christie
  • 28 Mar 2022

Daisy Jones and The Six, the 2019 novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, is truly a rare gem. Told in the fictional yet autobiographical style common for Taylor, the book delves into the story of a famous rock band from the 1970s, presented as the transcript for an insightful documentary on their history.

This kind of structure, that has the copy consisting entirely of dialogue, means it would make the perfect book-to-screen adaptation.

And, as she so often is, actor and film producer extraordinaire, Reese Witherspoon, was miles ahead of us in realising that.

Months before the book was released in 2019, Amazon ordered a 13-episode limited series based on Daisy Jones and The Six, to be championed by Reese and her production company, Hello Sunshine.

The company has been behind a number of other successful adaptations, such as Little Fires Everywhere and Big Little Lies, as well as the upcoming film Where the Crawdads Sing.

And in great news for the fans who are dying to see their favourite characters come alive on TV, Daisy Jones and The Six is now deep into the production stages.

Lead actress Riley Keough shared photos from the set on their first day of filming to her Instagram, where the band of talented actors sat around on bikes branded with the show name.

“Day 1 of Daisy Jones and the Six today. I am so, so proud of how hard everyone has worked to bring this story to life,” she wrote.

“All of the writers have done SUCH an incredible job. Everyone at Amazon, the whole crew on the show side and also the music side working tirelessly and tiredly to make us sound good.

“The cast for working so hard learning how to do things we’ve all never done. Thank you thank you thank you!!”

So, what is Daisy Jones and The Six about?

Daisy Jones and The Six follows the meteoric rise of American rock band The Six, who must adapt to the expectations of the industry in order to continue their success.

This leads to the promise of an album with rising star, solo singer Daisy Jones, with producers believing the acts can help each other along in their success.

Stunning, chaotic, and talented, Daisy shakes things up among the band – leading to a series of creative clashes and love triangles, all the while brilliant music is made.

The story was loosely based on the exploits of Fleetwood Mac, who are known not only for their music, but the many intricacies of their relationships as members of the band.

Who will star in Daisy Jones and The Six?

Riley is objectively an excellent choice for the role of Daisy, given her music and acting pedigree.

She is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough, making her the granddaughter of the king of rock’n’roll, Elvis Presley, and actress Priscilla Presley.

Riley will be joined by The Hunger Games and Me Before You star Sam Claflin, who will play The Six’s Billy Dunne, while Camila Morrone will portray Billy’s wife, also named Camila.

British actress and model Suki Waterhouse will play Karen Sirko, keyboardist for The Six, and Daisy’s best friend, disco legend Simone Jackson, will be played by Nabiyah Be.

When can we expect to see the show?

We know from Sam’s Instagram that filming was still taking place in February, so we’re hopeful that the series will be available by the end of 2022. If not, we have our sights set on early 2023.

Where can I watch Daisy Jones and The Six?

Since the series was ordered by Amazon, it’ll be airing on Amazon Prime Video.
