Daisy Jones & The Six star Riley Keough has opened up about the show’s future – see what she had to say below.
Last year, Daisy Jones & The Six premiered on Amazon Prime Video, telling the story of the “precipitous rise and fall of a renowned rock band” led by singers Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin).
The series is based on the 2019 novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, with the story partly inspired by the dynamic between Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
However, despite the show’s positive reception, Daisy Jones & The Six has yet to be greenlit for a second season and now, Keough has spoken about a potential follow-up. Speaking to Variety, Keough said: “I would love to but I don’t know if it’s in the cards…I haven’t heard anything.”
Keough’s comments come after her co-star Sam Claflin revealed earlier during the Emmy Awards that he had “outlined” his vision for a second season, and that he was “pushing for it”.
While the show wraps up the entirety of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 novel, the author said in a statement to Variety last year: “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. 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.”
The series won two Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards for Outstanding Period Costumes for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
In January, Keough revealed that the fictional band were set to perform live before having the plug pulled on them due to last year’s writers’ strike. “In honour of the Emmys, here’s a video of the last time Sammy, the band and I rehearsed together. We were rehearsing to perform live for our lovely Daisy fans and it sadly never happened because of the strike,” she wrote on Instagram along with a clip of their rehearsals.
