Feel like the story is one you’ve heard before? Have you read Daisy Jones and the Six before?

Daisy Jones and the Six is based on a book

Yes, this is a series based on a book. The book of the same name is by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and it was based on her experiences growing up watching Fleetwood Mac on the TV. While the band in the book is fictional, it is loosely based on the erratic music scene of the 1970s. There will be elements that you recognize.

The book was published back in March 2019. It didn’t take too long for it to be optioned as a TV series, but things were slow to take off due to the pandemic. A lot of TV shows suffered because of that, with us seeing many shows abruptly canceled and others taking years to bring the new season out. It’s not surprising that a new series like Daisy Jones and the Six took its time to get to us.

Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid is available on Amazon.
