Actors would be forgiven for passing up on the opportunity to appear in Amazon Prime 's adaption of Daisy Jones & The Six, thanks to the global popularity of the TV show's original source material.
Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel about a fictional rock band quickly became the 'IT book' of the year when it was released back in 2019, with actress Reese Witherspoon quickly snapping up the rights to bring the characters to life on screen.
When the TV series was announced many readers worried the adaptation would ruin the magic of the book, but fans of the fictional band have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to series set to premiere on Friday.
In the book, author Taylor prompts readers to consider the possibility the fairytale dream of The One is nothing but a fantasy, thanks to Billy's complicated love triangle with wife Camilla and bandmate Daisy.
While THE book explores whether it's possible to have two loves of your life, the TV adaption proves it's possible - with readers now set to adore the on-screen adaption just as much as the original novel.
Daisy Jones & The Six follows "a rock band in the 1970s from their rise in the LA music scene to becoming one of the most legendary bands in the world and explores the reason behind their split at the height of their success" - with Riley Keough playing Daisy in the streaming adaptation due to premiere on Amazon on March 3.
Sam Claflin as Billy Dunne and Suki Waterhouse as Karen Sirko take starring roles as members of The Six, with their musical talents sure to see the fictional band top the charts and possibly even tour one day.
Speaking at the advanced screening in London last month, Suki, Sam and co-stars Josh Whitehouse and Camila Morrone all had a relaxed vibe and appeared as if they'd been on a musical journey together for years, rather than thrown together for a TV project in 2021.
When it comes to the first episode of the Amazon series, it's clear to see why the book was transformed for the small screen rather than a one-off movie.
The tale that captures the essence of creativity in the erratic, wild world of the 1970s takes place over many years in the book, and a ten-part series is the perfect time allowance to do the book justice and make sure no tangled relationship and plotline is rushed.
Riley, daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley, may have not been some the first choice to play Daisy when it came to fan casting on the internet, but Elvis' granddaughter proves musical talent runs in her family once again.
Without giving too much away, the first episode of Daisy Jones & The Six sees Riley's vocal talents put to good use, as her on-screen character attempts to discover if she has what it takes in the world of music and heads to a local bar to instill some confidence in herself.
But it's the messy love affairs that will be what really grips viewers over the next ten episodes, with Billy and Camilla's relationship perfectly set up in the opening episode of the series - ready for it to be rocked when the lead singer of The Six meets wild child Daisy.
Hello Sunshine, Circle of Confusion and Amazon Studios had a tough job when it came to paying homage to Taylor's original book but turning the author's unique way of telling a story into a watchable TV series.
But thanks to catchy songs, a perfect cast and enviable fashion moments, Daisy Jones & The Six is sure to set the world of television alight in the same way it has dominated the book charts over the last few years.
*Daisy Jones & The Six will be available to stream from Friday on Amazon Prime
