Over a month after securing a bevy of Emmy nominations for Prime Video’s “Daisy Jones & the Six” and Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things,” Hello Sunshine president of film and TV was still “exploding with joy.”
Neustadter sat down with TheWrap over Zoom, fresh from the news of Stevie Nicks’ Instagram post praising the TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling book “Daisy Jones & the Six,” which took inspiration from the relationships between the members of Fleetwood Mac. The warts-and-all series chronicles the rise and fall of a ‘70s rock band and the legacy their music left behind, and received nine Emmy nominations including acting nods for Riley Keough and Camila Morrone in addition to a Best Limited Series nomination.
Highlighting women’s stories has long been a mission for the Reese Witherspoon-founded Hello Sunshine, and Neustadter reveled in the fact that both “Daisy Jones” and...

Hair department head MaryAnn Hennings first heard about the television adaptation of “Daisy Jones and the Six” while working on the film adaptation of “Where the Crawdads Sing,” two big projects produced by Hello Sunshine, the company founded by Reese Witherspoon.

When Daisy Jones first performs at the famed Troubadour in the second episode of Prime Video’s “Daisy Jones & The Six,” she’s not yet a rock star. The titular character, played by Riley Keough, steps onto the low-lit stage with an acoustic guitar awkwardly strapped around her shoulders, her hair hastily done up in prairie braids, her frizz the telltale sign of a broke artist without the time or money to care about aesthetics.
“I’m Daisy,” she says into the mic. Not yet “Daisy Jones” or “lead singer of The Six,” the band that she would later join and catapult her into fame. At this point, she’s just Daisy. But her star power is evident — and she already looks the part.
