What is Daisy Jones and the Six about?

Daisy Jones and the Six is based on the New York Times best-selling novel of the same name by author Taylor Jenkins-Reid. It tells the story of a fictional 1970s band made up of lead singers Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne and how their electric chemistry led to fame and fortune publicly and falling outs privately.

The Amazon Prime series looks to follow the book's narrative, showing the band's humble beginnings, meteoric rise and shock ending - when the pair called it quits after a sold-out show at Chicago's Soldier Field stadium.

The book's style follows an interview structure. Band members and family members reflect and recollect the events of being part of the Daisy Jones and the Six story decades later.

From the best-selling author of Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Malibu Rising, comes Daisy Jones and the Six.

"They were lovers and friends and brothers and rivals. They couldn't believe their luck, until it ran out. This is their story of the early days and the wild nights, but everyone remembers the truth differently. The only thing they all know for sure is that from the moment Daisy Jones walked barefoot onstage at the Whisky, their lives were irrevocably changed. Making music is never just about the music. And sometimes it can be hard to tell where the sound stops and the feelings begin."

"Set to the soundtrack of original music from the Daisy Jones & the Six—this is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers," reads the official synopsis.

Fans who have read the book on which it's based on have been quick to compare the story with that of real-life band Fleetwood Mac. Many believe Daisy Jones represents musician Stevie Knicks, with Billy Dunne suggestive of Lindsay Buckingham. Author Taylor Jenkins Reid herself has even cited the two as her inspiration in a Hello Sunshine blog post. Whilst comparisons and interpretations are welcomed, the author has confirmed that the story and the band itself are both fictional.

Is there a season 2 of Daisy Jones and the Six?

No, there are currently no plans for a season 2 of Daisy Jones and the Six. Amazon Prime Video have confirmed that the show is a limited series, which means a sequel is not likely.

It also makes sense that Daisy Jones and the Six isn't back for a second season, seeing as the story is based on a book - and one book at that. Author Taylor Jenkins Reid has shared no plans to write a sequel to her best-seller, so there's no material currently that could be used to make a second series of the show.

But as they say - never say never. If Daisy Jones and the Six proves to be an overwhelming success, then Amazon Prime and Taylor Jenkins Reid may change their minds...
