'Vinyl' HBO TV Series Premiere Date Announced; Mick Jagger's Son Set To Star Alongside A-Listers!
Tired of today's trending mainstream scene? Or simply want to go back to old classics? Well, brace yourselves up as HBO is slowly brewing up its latest offer - "Vinyl" TV series has the perfect blend of drama, sex, drugs, and of course, the music all set in the glory days of 70's rock and roll according to a report from Screen Rant.
The upcoming "Vinyl" TV series is helmed by big names which include English vocalist and songwriter Mick Jagger as one of its executive producers. Producer Martin Scorsese joined him as well in this collaboration with Terrence Winter, who did the screenwriting work for titles "The Wolf of Wall Street" as well as created "Boardwalk Empire."
The show is set to star actor Bobby Cannavale, who acts as the president of the fictional American Century recording label Vinyl, as he explores a time in New York where music was changing and fueled by sex and drugs.
Joining Cannavale are the seasoned actors Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, P.J. Byrne, J.C. MacKenzie, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Juno Temple, Jack Quaid, James Jagger, and Paul Ben-Victor. Rumor has it that Jagger is trying to include One Directioner Harry Styles to star in the show, TV Series Finale writes.
The show is set to focus on the lead character Kip Stevens - played by Jagger's son James - and the trailer alone displays a unique mix of glam rock, early disco styles, and even an appearance from an Andy Warhol look-a-like.
While it's yet too early to tell if the show will be the next big thing on small screen, "Vinyl" TV series has already shown a lot of potential, with its trailer showing an exciting tale of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. The pilot episode will be directed by Scorsese himself.
Still, the question remains if "Vinyl" can attract capture music-minded audience similar to "Empire," which is currently one of the biggest music drama shows on television.
"Vinyl" TV series is set to premiere in January 2016 on HBO.
