Amazon has dropped a trailer for Daisy Jones & the Six, the upcoming limited series based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel, Variety reports.
Reid’s book, published by Ballantine in 2019, tells the story of the rise and fall of a popular 1970s rock group. A critic for Kirkus wrote of the novel, “Despite some drawbacks, an insightful story that will appeal to readers nostalgic for the 1970s.”
The series stars Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, as Daisy, the lead singer of the band. Other cast members include Camila Morrone (Death Wish), Sam Claflin (Peaky Blinders), Suki Waterhouse (The Bad Batch), and Nabiyah Be (Black Panther). It is directed by James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now).
The trailer opens with shots of the titular band walking by a throng of fans and performing on stage, before cutting to a shot of Keough as Daisy, looking toward the camera and saying, “Look, I know that I said that I would tell you everything. But how much of everything do you really want to know?”
It ends with a shot of Keough singing one of the band’s hits, “Regret Me,” which Atlantic Records has released as a single. The record company is dropping an album, Aurora, recorded by the onscreen band; other songs include “Let Me Down Easy,” “You Were Gone,” and “The River.”
The album will be released on March 3, the same day that Daisy Jones & the Six will premiere on Amazon.
