This Fleetwood Mac-inspired book, series, and album trifecta has sparked a lot of conversation surrounding the series' release in March. With a strong reader audience from Taylor Jenkins Reid's original Daisy Jones and the Six, the series was destined to be an automatic hit. But what blew the series out of the water was a stellar cast, an alignment with the 70s revival in the trend cycle, and the cast members actually becoming members of a band. Starring Riley Keough (Elvis's granddaughter), Sam Claflin, Camilla Morrone, and Suki Waterhouse, the plot revolves around the formation of a band in the 70s. Navigating life in L.A., creative differences, and relationship drama, their story of the creation of their album, Aurora, is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams and the public's fascination with the band members' personal lives. In order to experience the story in a personal way, the cast members did something completely innovative: becoming the band.

Since the beginning of 2020, the show has been in the works, and for non-musicians such as Sam Claflin, the beginning of music lessons. Rather than dubbing the singing in the show, they decided to train their cast to become a band of their own, rehearsing the show's songs for two years. This is another level of dedication to the craft, as it is rare in the era of streaming services to see production taken to the next level and prioritizing quality over money and time. Their most popular song, Look At Us Now, has over 22 million streams on Spotify. To say it is a massive success would be an understatement. Daisy Jones and the Six has covered all the bases of media, creating a cult following and a massive interest level.
