Will there be a Daisy Jones and the Six Season 2?
Prime VideoDaisy Jones and the Six has ended its Season 1 run, so will the musical drama be returning for Season 2? Here’s what the creators have to say about a potential sequel.
Daisy Jones and the Six is an Amazon Prime Video series that’s based on the 2019 novel of the same name by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Which in turn was very loosely based on the story of Fleetwood Mac.
Riley Keough, Sam Claflin and Suki Waterhouse starred, with the official synopsis as follows: “Daisy Jones & the Six follows the story of a 1970s band fronted by two feuding yet charismatic lead singers, Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne. Set to the soundtrack of original music, this is the story of how this iconic band imploded at the height of its power.”
The 10-part Season 1 just ended its run, so here’s what the show’s creators have been saying about Season 2.
Will there be a Daisy Jones and the Six Season 2?
While no official plans for a Season 2 have been announced, both the author of the book and runner of the show have mentioned that they would like to continue the story.
At Deadline’s recent Contenders Television panel, showrunner Scott Neustadter teased that he had plenty more ideas for future seasons:
“What’s cool is that the show does have an ending that hopefully is satisfying. We answered all the questions that we raised, but I do think on the way out the door we asked a few new questions. That’s always my favorite kind of ending,” he explained. “There’s opportunity to keep telling the story; obviously we’d want to talk with Taylor.”
As for Taylor Jenkins Reid – who is also a producer on the show – she stated that she is “thinking about” what a second season could be.
“I think we’re in a really fortunate position where we have a story that is final, and has an ending that feels really good,” Reid recently told Variety. “I would only open that back up if it felt like there was a story here that we have to tell. Have I been thinking about what that is? I certainly have.”
Reid adds: “To see the performances that you have from this cast, and specifically Riley and Sam, and be willing to walk away from that without asking yourself whether you could give them another opportunity to dig into these characters would be very silly.
“I’m not so stupid as to not recognize what we have in the two of them. So it’s definitely on my mind.”
In a different interview, the outlet asked another showrunner, Will Graham if he’d be game for more episodes.
Like Neustadter, Graham throws it back to Reid, stating: “We had the most amazing time making the show. For me, that question goes back to Taylor and if she has another chapter for these characters in her head. If we got an opportunity to do it, I think, no question, everyone involved in the show would show up with bells on.”
Stevie Nicks chimes in on potential S2
As many may know, a lot of the plot for Daisy Jones & The Six was loosely based on the real life and times of the band Fleetwood Mac, particulars Stevie Nicks.
Now, Nicks herself has finally acknowledge the show, and called for a second season. In some recent social media posts, the rock legend gave the show her high praises, stating “It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story. It was very emotional for me. I just wish Christine could have seen it. She would have loved it. Hopefully it will continue…”
Daisy Jones and the Six Season 1 is currently streaming on Prime Video.
