Camila Morrone (Mickey and the Bear) will play Camila, girlfriend of lead singer Billy and a central part to the band's journey. While she follows the love of her life on his pursuit to fame and rock stardom, she also discovers her own potential along the way.

Daisy Jones & The Six plot

Based on the bestselling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six is a limited series detailing the rise and precipitous fall of a renowned rock band.

According to the synopsis: "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."

The book, which is a New York Times bestseller and has sold over a million copies, is said to be inspired by the relationship between Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, as revealed by Reid in a Hello Sunshine post.

Is there a trailer for Daisy Jones & The Six?

While fans have been desperately waiting for a glimpse of the cast in action, we finally have a new trailer to get excited over. Yes, we may already have a couple of teaser trailers that have been tiding us over, but in Prime Video's official trailer for the series, we see how the rise to success for The Six comes with its fair share of curveballs, especially where Daisy is concerned.

We see how the band and Daisy initially cross paths for a collaborative single, but that leads to a hit album, tours, jealous partners and a fractured work environment.

The trailer also features new single Look At Us Now (Honeycomb), one of 24 original songs written exclusively for the series and recorded by the cast.

Watch the trailer below.

Similarly, the previously released teaser trailer also shows the highs and dramatic lows of the group.

It features Regret Me, another of the 24 original songs written exclusively for the series and recorded by the cast. The original music will be released by Atlantic Records during the rollout of the series. Watch the trailer below.
