Daisy Jones & The Six isn’t so fictional anymore. A trailer for the upcoming Prime Video series, based on the novel of the same name by Taylor Jenkins Reid, brings the band to life led by Riley Keough as the titular character.
In 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six were on top of the world. Fronted by two charismatic lead singers—Daisy Jones (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.
The trailer released Wednesday, features clips of the band performing and writing music together, also hinting at the rocky relationship between Daisy and Billy. The trailer also includes the band performing their hit single from the book, “Regret Me.”
The song is part of the fictional album Aurora, which has also been brought to life and will be released when the series debuts on March 3. Prime Video released the track list on Wednesday, which is below.
Grammy-winning songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills led the production on Aurora with co-writing credits from Marcus Mumford, Phoebe Bridgers and Jackson Browne. Tony Berg also provided additional production, and the album features instrumentalists from Rilo Kiley, the Who, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Elton John, Jeff Beck and the Wallflowers.
