Having just landed on Prime Video<\/a>, Daisy Jones & The Six<\/a> is already gearing up to be one of the more talked-about series of the year.<\/p>\n

The 10-part drama tells the story of how one fictional band rose to prominent success and then, at the height of their fame, decided to part ways. It\u2019s a musical drama based on the New York Times bestselling novel<\/a> by Taylor Jenkins Reid and comes from Reese Witherspoon\u2019s Hello Sunshine production company.<\/p>\n

While the series has been drumming up hype for quite some time now, the big question many fans have is whether Daisy Jones & The Six is based on a true story. Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

While the series definitely feels as though it\u2019s based on a real band\u2019s come-up story, it\u2019s all fictional \u2013 but is inspired by real events.<\/p>\n

As outlined in our review<\/a>, if you\u2019re a Fleetwood Mac fan, the story between Daisy (Riley Keough) and Billy (Sam Claflin) will be a familiar one and feels like an ode to Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham majorly.<\/p>\n

In a 2019 post on the Hello Sunshine website<\/a>, Taylor Jenkins Reid wrote about how the iconic real-life band influenced her writing Daisy Jones & The Six.<\/p>\n

She describes coming across a performance of Landslide that saw Nicks and Buckingham move closer together and the author thinking they were in love with each other, but then was surprised to learn from her mother at the time that though they had dated, the pair were no longer together.<\/p>\n

She wrote: \u201cYears later, once I understood the full story of Fleetwood Mac, I came across \u2018The Dance\u2019 again, this time on YouTube. I watched it in its entirety. I saw that later on in the show, Stevie sung \u2018Silver Springs\u2019, like a woman scorned, holding that microphone like a weapon, drilling holes into Lindsey\u2019s head with her eyes as she sang that her voice would haunt him.\u201d<\/p>\n
