Based on the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ is a limited musical-drama series detailing the rise and precipitous fall of a renowned rock band. In 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six were on top of the world. Fronted by two charismatic lead singers—Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin)—the band had risen from obscurity to fame. And then, after a sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, they called it quits. Now, decades later, the band members finally agree to reveal the truth. This is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers.
Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber created the series based on the novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Scott Neustadter is executive producing and co-show running with Will Graham, who also serves as an executive producer. James Ponsoldt directed the first five episodes and serves as an executive producer, Nzingha Stewart directed four of the remaining episodes, and Graham directed one.
The series will feature original songs written and produced by Grammy Nominated producer Blake Mills and a number of other talented co-writers.
