Stevie Nicks's Daisy Jones & The Six Season 2 Pitch: A Fleetwood Mac "What If...?"
Stevie Nicks's Season 2 Idea for Daisy Jones & The Six: A Fleetwood Mac Alternate Reality!
Hold onto your hats, Fleetwood Mac and Daisy Jones & The Six fans! The iconic Stevie Nicks herself pitched a mind-blowing season 2 idea for the hit Amazon Prime series, and it's a total "what if?" scenario based on Fleetwood Mac's real-life history; even better, the entire idea revolves around filling that space which many long-term fans may not even have known could even be there. The entire idea would completely reshape this incredibly well-received limited series into something entirely bigger and unexpected! That series adaptation itself was inspired by the band's real-life drama, telling the story of that awesome fictional band—and this idea is nothing short of stunning, really adding layers to what might otherwise be completely unexplored.
Daisy Jones & The Six (starring Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Camila Morrone, Suki Waterhouse, Will Harrison, and Josh Whitehouse) ended its first run as a limited series, resolving its main narrative based on that famous source material – Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel – and creating those perfectly timed and perfectly spaced episodes; thus creating this complete package that fans loved entirely. That initial series brilliantly used all the core thematic elements involved from Fleetwood Mac's legendary drama – and Nicks’s pitch in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, further amplifies what exactly made this original so well received. The details concerning how much thought was given, only adding additional depth and insight into that famous author’s process.
Stevie Nicks's "What If...?" Moment: A Season 2 Beyond the Book
Nicks reveals this pitch for season 2 revolves around Billy Dunne’s return and an unlikely reconciliation! And this would happen some time after Billy's wife passes away. She imagined Billy knocking on Daisy’s door, leading to a long-awaited collaboration, something that never transpired between Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac's own story. The entire concept alone already brings excitement for viewers eagerly waiting for any future details that will completely reshape this ending!
Here's what Nicks said: “I wish that it could go into what if … had Billy come back after Billy’s wife died and knocked on her door, and they decided to make that last record that I always hoped that Lindsey and I would make. That would make a fantastic second season. I talked to [executive producer] Reese [Witherspoon] and Riley about it, and they loved the idea, but everybody’s so busy. Riley’s on her way to becoming a big movie star. But maybe one of these days, they’ll do it. Until I saw Daisy Jones & The Six, I would have never thought it was even possible to emulate our life.”
This was made clear by Nicks' detailed appreciation and observations toward that show; discussing and complimenting individual performances. She noted just how similar Daisy's storyline paralleled with hers and the other characters. Nicks made it clear in her own observations she understood the context behind this fictional work that is only superficially connected to their own history, stating that before this release, she did not really know this kind of emotional story was possible.
Daisy Jones & The Six Season 2: Will it Happen?
While Daisy Jones & The Six is now concluded and is being seen by many as this completely satisfactory work already and many other fans see this additional aspect in the same light – as well received, critically lauded and an extremely well-done ending; thus, seeing additional seasons or related projects to expand on the storyline may have minimal merit. But there are huge arguments for a continuation. Nicks' idea’s incredibly compelling: The show only uses real-life events as inspiration, showing those freedoms allowed through being only slightly based on truth that helps create this extremely compelling narrative! This "what if" scenario and would transform the story – creating this totally fresh alternative version, rather than simply rehashing old material which adds something new that may not already exist within the original story itself!
Those who may disagree and still disagree with adding more, the leading actor herself previously stated that it isn’t likely–that Keough doesn't believe a season 2 is forthcoming. She has plenty of upcoming work, she’s about to be really huge, which makes returning to Daisy less likely.
Our Take: Time Will Tell
Nicks's pitch for Season 2 is an absolute delight; those points and suggestions from her are really, really important: it shows an artist recognizing themselves within that artistic production that would then allow herself to understand those deep thematic points. Whether that new sequel occurs isn’t totally dependent on if the fans wanted it! Scheduling constraints alone show why creating this type of continuation for a now-concluded limited series is not straightforward! This series alone demonstrated both the merits of having those limitations involved and that there aren’t always answers toward fulfilling that huge unmet audience demand.
The biggest issue revolves around Keough; is she going to return or continue on other projects which she’s involved in? It really will come down to her; and whatever the network and the producers decide. She might just get too busy. Let's see how it plays out! While the hope that everyone involved in those projects would eventually decide on doing that additional content has a great deal of merit – and the idea itself might be worth revisiting some day. The popularity and demand alone should serve to convince everyone involved!
Conclusion: The Enduring Power of “What If…?”
Stevie Nicks's idea, this fascinating and amazing concept which uses both Fleetwood Mac’s own history combined with a creative twist to Daisy Jones & The Six, perfectly captures those possibilities; leaving everyone involved including this author quite eager to see what might occur. It showcases the deep impact those stories can create through creative expansions. Even a "what if...?" storyline brings plenty of intriguing potential!
