Danny Boyle’s exclusive Sex Pistols TV series is coming to Disney+ this May

Sex Pistol fans will be deligthed to hear that the exclusive series ‘Pistol’ is officially coming to Disney Plus this May.

Created and written by Craig Pearce and directed by Danny Boyle, the six-episode series is set to premiere on Disney+ on May 31 - and we can’t wait.

The show is based on Steve Jones‘ memoir ‘Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol’ and boasts a cast of newcomers, including Toby Wallace as Jones, Jacob Slater as Paul Cook, Anson Boon as John Lydon and Christian Lees as Glen Matlock.

  • You can sign up for a Disney+ subscription here.

Pistol also features Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, Sydney Chandler as Chrissie Hynde, Talulah Riley as Vivienne Westwood, Maisie Williams as punk icon Jordan, Emma Appleton as Nancy Spungen and Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Malcolm McLaren.

Pistol has been described as being about “a rock and roll revolution" (Disney+)

An official synopsis from Disney+ for Pistol, described as being about “a rock and roll revolution” reads: “The furious, raging storm at the centre of this revolution are the Sex Pistols - and at the centre of this series is Sex Pistols’ founding member and guitarist, Steve Jones."

It continues: “Jones’ hilarious, emotional and at times heart-breaking journey guides us through a kaleidoscopic telling of three of the most epic, chaotic and mucus-spattered years in the history of music."

Robust parental controls ensure that Disney+ remains a suitable viewing experience for everyone in the family. Subscribers can set access limits on mature content and create PIN-protected profiles alongside the already existing Kids Profiles to give parents and guardians peace of mind.

If you can’t wait to watch the new series, you can sign up for a Disney+ subscription now for just £7.99 a month, or you can pay £79.90 for the year.

There's currently no free trial available for Disney+, but if your mobile network provider is O2, you may be able to save some money, as they are offering six months of Disney+ free for upgrading and new customers.

If you're not looking to upgrade, as an O2 customer you can add Disney+ to your existing mobile plan, and they'll give you £2 off of your monthly bill.

With Disney+, fans can stream thousands of Disney movies and series on their devices (smart TVs, phones, laptops, tablets, and gaming consoles). The service includes unlimited downloads so you can watch anywhere, anytime.

Disney Plus content comes from Walt Disney Studios' and Walt Disney Television's biggest names: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox.
