Per Deadline, Amazon has given a 13-episode order to a limited series based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s upcoming novel "Daisy Jones & The Six" from Reese Witherspoon's production company "Hello Sunshine". Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (500 Days of Summer, The Fault In Our Stars) wrote the pilot script and will oversee the limited series.
Daisy Jones & The Six centers on a fictional rock band in the 1970s, following their rise through the ranks of the LA music scene and beyond, eventually becoming one of the most legendary bands in the world.
“When I heard Hello Sunshine was developing Daisy Jones & The Six, I tracked down a copy right away and devoured it in one sitting. I loved it so much I had to take it off the market and bring it to Amazon Studios,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “I was immediately struck by how perfectly it fit into our overall approach of bringing passionate creators and entertaining, compelling content to our Prime Video audience. Reese, Lauren [Neustadter, head of film and TV for Hello Sunshine] and I are kindred spirits!”
