Stevie Nicks wants ‘Daisy Jones And The Six’ season 2 to rewrite Fleetwood Mac’s history
Stevie Nicks has shared her idea for a second season of Daisy Jones & The Six.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the iconic Fleetwood Mac singer reflected on the ending of the Amazon Prime Video series, which saw Sam Claflin’s Billy Dunne reunite with Riley Keough‘s Daisy after being encouraged by his wife to give his former bandmate a call after she passes away.
Though the series was intentionally left open-ended, Nicks was keen to suggest where the story could go if the show were to return for a second season.
“I wish that it could go into what if … had Billy come back after Billy’s wife died and knocked on her door, and they decided to make that last record that I always hoped that Lindsey and I would make. That would make a fantastic second season,” Nicks said.
The singer also revealed that she shared her thoughts with Keough and Reese Witherspoon, who executive produced the show. “I talked to Reese and Riley about it, and they loved the idea, but everybody’s so busy. Riley’s on her way to becoming a big movie star. But maybe one of these days, they’ll do it. Until I saw Daisy Jones & The Six, I would have never thought it was even possible to emulate our life.”
Daisy Jones & The Six, which charts the rise and fall of a fictional ’70s band, has frequently been compared to Fleetwood Mac, with Keough and Claflin’s characters sharing stark similarities with Nicks and her former bandmate and ex-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham. Taylor Jenkins Reid, who wrote the book the series was adapted from, has previously confirmed that her story was not strictly based on the band, but that it did serve as a key inspiration.
In her Rolling Stone interview, Nicks further elaborated on her thoughts about series. “I didn’t even want to see it, because I thought I was going to hate it so much. I had COVID when I saw it. I was in my condo in Los Angeles, and I can remember saying, ‘Am I just watching my life go by?’”
Back in April this year, Keough opened up about the possibility of a second season, saying: “I would love to but I don’t know if it’s in the cards…I haven’t heard anything.”
