“To see the performances that you have from this cast, and specifically Riley and Sam, and be willing to walk away from that without asking yourself whether you could give them another opportunity to dig into these characters would be very silly,” she said.

Reid essentially implied in the interview with Variety that one of the biggest reasons she's thinking about essential ways to continue Daisy and Billy's story is because of just how strong Riley Keough and Sam Claflin were as those characters. Lead characters Daisy Jones ( Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne ( Sam Claflin) are very close to Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. The series, which just wrapped its 10-episode run up last week on Prime Video, covers the rise and fall of the fictional band Daisy Jones and The Six they're 'fictional,' but Reid has been open about how the band is almost directly based on memories from her youth of Fleetwood Mac. But now, in 2023, we got Daisy Jones & The Six, based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel of the same name, which has been a hit with fans and a success in its book-to-TV adaptation. We've got Almost Famous, we've got Spinal Tap (and A Mighty Wind within the Christopher Guest pantheon as well if we're giving credit where credit is due), we've got whatever version of A Star Is Born of your choice, and maybe a few others. Many have tried, but there aren't a ton of Rock 'n' Roll movies and television shows that really hit.

The following story contains spoilers for Daisy Jones & The Six on Prime Video.
