Daisy Jones, Billy Dunne, and the rest of The Six are about to take the stage and the world by storm. Ahead of its March 3 release, Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday released the first full-length trailer for Daisy Jones & the Six, its upcoming adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid‘s New York Times best-selling novel starring Riley Keough as the titular Daisy Jones, who was partially based on Stevie Nicks.

The upcoming small-screen adaptation stars Keough and Sam Claflin as the lead singers of the band, Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne. Despite their personal and artistic chemistry, Daisy and Billy have a complicated musical partnership and frequently clash. After the band catapults from obscurity to unbelievable fame, things come crashing down following a sold-out show at Chicago’s Soldier Field, when the band suddenly calls it quits. Partially set to “Look At Me Now, (Honeycomb)” one of 24 original songs written exclusively for the series and recorded by the cast, the trailer gave an up-close look at the rise and fall of the iconic fictional band.
