Daisy Jones and The Six is out today – here’s where to watch it in the UK

The 10-episode series is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling book

Daisy Jones and The Six became a sleeper hit during the pandemic – with the novel’s rock ’n’ roll storyline transporting readers beyond their four walls and into the heady 1970s music scene in the US. Now, the bestselling book has been adapted into a glossy television show that premiers on Amazon Prime today (3 March).

Starring Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse, the nostalgia-fuelled drama traces an LA rock band’s meteoric rise from obscurity to world fame – and the reason behind their split at the height of success.

The buzzy series centres around icon-in-the-making Daisy Jones (Keough), a charismatic singer who joins The Six. The band’s founder and lead singer Billy (Claflin) has just come out of a stint at rehab and Daisy’s arrival marks the beginning of a volatile yet passionate relationship, which breeds resentment and tension among the band’s members and spouses.

Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s book (£4.50, Amazon.co.uk) of the same name, the author has said the story is partly inspired by the rise and sudden break-up of Fleetwood Mac, who announced their split in the middle of a sold-out tour.

The 10-episode series – produced by Reese Witherspoon – promises to bring to life the late-Seventies glamour, drama and romance that secured the book’s success. Whether you’ve been waiting eagerly for the TV adaptation or are after some escapism, here’s how to stream Daisy Jones and The Six – and how to listen to the original soundtrack.
