Stevie Nicks Shares a Season 2 Idea for Daisy Jones & The Six with Riley Keough and Reese Witherspoon
Oct
Stevie Nicks, the legendary Fleetwood Mac singer and one of the real-life inspirations for the hit Prime Video series Daisy Jones & The Six, recently shared her vision for a possible second season with actress Riley Keough and executive producer Reese Witherspoon. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Nicks revealed her desire to explore a continuation of the band’s story, sparking excitement among fans of the series.
Nicks’ Season 2 Concept: A Last Album and a Love Rekindled
Daisy Jones & The Six concluded with the band splitting up after their final concert, leaving many fans wondering what could have been for the characters Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) and Daisy Jones (Riley Keough). Billy, heavily inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham, was on the verge of becoming romantically involved with Daisy, the character loosely based on Nicks. However, Billy ultimately chose to return to his wife. Nicks suggested a “what if” scenario for a second season: “What if Billy came back after his wife’s death, knocked on Daisy’s door, and they decided to make that last record I always hoped Lindsey and I would make?” she told Rolling Stone. Nicks shared that both Keough and Witherspoon were enthusiastic about the idea. However, scheduling conflicts and the cast’s busy careers have made a continuation uncertain for now.
Daisy Jones & The Six and Its Reflection of Fleetwood Mac
The series, based on the 2019 novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, drew heavy inspiration from the turbulent dynamics of Fleetwood Mac, particularly the on-and-off relationship between Nicks and Buckingham. The series was produced as a limited series by Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, with Keough—Elvis Presley’s granddaughter—delivering a breakout performance as Daisy. Nicks admitted that the show struck an emotional chord with her, saying, “Until I saw Daisy Jones & The Six, I would have never thought it was even possible to emulate our life.” Her suggestion for a season 2 feels personal, as it mirrors her own longing for one last collaboration with Buckingham—something that never came to fruition in real life.
The Future of Daisy Jones & The Six: A Long Shot?
While Daisy Jones & The Six earned mixed critical reviews, audiences were more receptive, giving it an 8.1 rating on IMDb and an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series was intended as a limited run, leaving the door only slightly open for a potential follow-up. However, with Keough’s career taking off and Witherspoon’s busy production slate, the chances of a second season seem slim. Nicks hinted at the scheduling challenges, saying, “Riley’s on her way to becoming a big movie star, but maybe one of these days, they’ll do it.” Though nothing is confirmed, fans are already buzzing about the possibility of seeing the band reunite and exploring the “what if” storyline suggested by Nicks.
Fleetwood Mac Without Christine McVie
The idea of closure seems to resonate deeply with Nicks, especially in light of the death of Fleetwood Mac member Christine McVie in 2022. Nicks expressed that she no longer sees a reason to continue the band without McVie, reflecting the emotional weight that also underpins her vision for a second season of Daisy Jones & The Six. While the chances of a season 2 are currently uncertain, Stevie Nicks’ personal connection to the show and her intriguing pitch have sparked new interest. Fans can only hope that, like in her vision, the stars align for one last reunion—on screen, if not in real life.
