Daisy Jones and The Six – meet the band

Amazon Studios and Reese Witherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine, have officially started filming the upcoming Daisy Jones and The Six TV show and we can hardly wait for the rock 'n' roll drama to hit the small screen. Hollywood star Riley Keough (Elvis Presley's granddaughter) will lead a star-studded cast as Daisy Jones. Meanwhile, Sam Claflin, who we all know and love from the Me Before You film adaptation, is set to play Billy Dunne. Brush up on the novel's main characters while eagerly anticipating the series launch in 2022.

And then appeared as a featured artist on the hit, 'Honeycomb', by The Six before eventually forming the super group, Daisy Jones and The Six.

Billy Dunne – to be played by Sam Claflin
Lead singer, songwriter for The Six. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Billy and his younger brother, Graham, formed the band The Dunne Brothers in the late 1960s. That band went on to become The Six. They played bars and small venues on the east coast before moving to LA and signing with Runner Records. They became best known for their hit, 'Honeycomb', off of their sophomore album, a duet featuring Daisy Jones. Together, Daisy Jones and The Six released the hit album, Aurora.
