We’re just honestly so thankful she agreed to do it.”Morris added: “Shows depicting the reality of what it takes to become a band or what it’s really like touring can so often get it wrong.

heads for the press this week! Prime Video's beloved-but-troubled bandmates try to keep up a united front while taking questions from reporters in ET's exclusive first look at this week’s episodes. Last week's installments ended just before the band released their album,, which Daisy (Riley Keough) and Billy (Sam Claflin) cowrote amid their contentious collaboration. The tension between them peaked when Billy kissed Daisy in the parking lot outside their recording studio and now carries into this week's release as well. «Why are you asking me about my clothes, man?» Daisy tells a reporter who inquires about the designers behind her coat and shoes.

The show’s production designer, Jessica Kender, explains that in some cases, it was more important to capture the feeling of the era than to use the exact location.

The novel quickly became a #BookTok sensation — and popular beyond the social media app — after it was released in 2019.
