Will There Be a Daisy Jones & The Six Season 2?

Suki Waterhouse Hints at a Second Season of "Daisy Jones & The Six": "I Would Love That"

Watch out! This post contains spoilers.

Fans who have been watching the Amazon Prime Video series adaptation of the Taylor Jenkins Reid book "Daisy Jones & The Six" — which wrapped up airing its 10 episodes on 24 March — have already been discussing the possibility of a second series, and it seems the cast are on board, too.

"It would be so nice to do a season two," Suki Waterhouse, who plays Karen in the series, told E! News at the Revolve Festival in Coachella. "I would love that. We just have to figure out the story." And it appears that Reid has been thinking about it, too. "I think we're in a really fortunate position where we have a story that is final, and has an ending that feels really good," Reid told Variety. "I would only open that back up if it felt like there was a story here that we have to tell. Have I been thinking about what that is? I certainly have."

Waterhouse also admitted that the cast have a few thoughts of their own. "We have a lot of silly ideas," she said. "I guess it could be a reunion tour." This topic has been the focus of many a conversation, too. Waterhouse, who is currently filming an unspecified project with "Daisy Jones & The Six" costar, Sam Claflin, added, "We are all actively talking about it, and I heard just in my own camp that people really want us to go on tour, like in a very serious way."

The series certainly garnered a loyal fanbase, but some fans picked up on the many changes made to Reid's original story. While some alterations — like Simone's beefed-up role — were welcomed with open arms, others received mixed reviews (mainly, that kiss between Billy and Daisy). Still, while fans might not love all the changes, they may have opened the door for a second season of the show, whereas the book neatly wraps things up.

Reid said to Variety that she was OK with the direction Amazon took with her novel, admitting she never expected the series to be a one-to-one copy. "I don't think I've ever wanted someone to go film my book exactly as it is," she told Variety. "Here's a new version of this story. Here are new versions of this song. Here's a new way to enjoy this. Hopefully, my readers will feel like they're finding the things that they loved about it, but also that it is something different. I like that it's different. I don't feel the need to compare them quite the same way as I have seen some people do."

The only requirement Reid had when handing over the rights to her story was that the creators didn't change one core aspect of the story: Daisy and Camila must not compete with each other. "I was clear that this is about women, first and foremost, that are not in competition with each other," Reid explained of her early conversations with the show's producers. "I knew that it meant the same thing to me that it meant to them."

While the "Daisy Jones & The Six" book ends pretty conclusively, with the characters all aged into their mid-60s, that's not the case with the show. The documentary that facilitates the narrative is filmed 20 years after the band's rise to fame in the '70s, which means they're significantly younger. So the possibility of a second season is real.

The idea of getting the show's amazing cast back together makes the prospect of a second season even more appealing to Reid. "To see the performances that you have from this cast, and specifically Riley [Keough] and Sam [Claflin], 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 continued. "I'm not so stupid as to not recognise what we have in the two of them. So it's definitely on my mind."

Fleetwood Mac's frontmen Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's volatile real-life relationship inspired some aspects of "Daisy Jones & The Six," and their story certainly didn't end with Fleetwood Mac's first breakup, so the possibilities here are endless.
