Note: The following contains spoilers for the “Daisy Jones and the Six” finale.
With such an emotional breakdown of bands and couples, it would take something huge to bring Daisy Jones and all the members of Six together, which is exactly what happened. But the Prime Video series finale did just that, revealing that – just like Taylor Jenkins Reid’s book – the documentary collecting all these interviews in the future will be none other than Billy (Sam Claflin) and Camilla (Camilla Morrone). is the daughter of Julie (Céchelle Gabriel).
Julia, whose younger version is portrayed by Naya Kodeh, is the one behind the camera, asking all the tough questions that led her parents’ band members to go their separate ways.
Lauren Neustadter, executive producer and president of film and TV at Hello Sunshine, told Therap in an interview, “Julia is the person who’s really pulling it together, which is one of the things that I think makes it so great.” Makes it rich and emotional.” “It’s really interesting, you know, when we reveal who [the documentarian] It is to realize that his point of view is also invaluable. He saw it all. I mean, I’m hoping and praying that after fans see the finale, they’ll watch the show again knowing that it’s Julia. Her point of view is incredibly important, realizing that the little girl we’ve seen through all these episodes and who we’ve seen grow up is who she is now. This whole thing is a story that she feels really passionate about telling, and her mother’s legacy will live on through her and, obviously, me too in a big way through Daisy and Billy and all the other band members. I think
Executive producer Ningha Stewart, who directed episodes 6,8,9 and 10, had to stand in for Gabrielle at times as the actress was not always available for Doctor Beatz.
“I have to remind [the actors] ‘In answer to this question, remember you are talking to – baby Julia, Billy’s daughter.’ The performance will change when I give that note,” Stewart told TheWrap. “We never wanted to give anything away, but you’ll see a warm-up come or a guarding, like ‘I want to protect her from that information. I want. That would come when I remembered who it was really for and that’s why these people will ever sit down and talk about that moment again.
It is Julia who also makes it possible for Billy and Daisy to reunite at the end of the finale, as Camilla has died of cancer, but she leaves one final request for them that Julia captures on tape – each other. because Billy still owes him a song.
“For Hello Sunshine, an essential element in every story we tell is hope. I think it’s such a beautiful, hopeful ending,” Neustadter said. “Camilla’s sentiment is so beautiful and so honest and so generous. She knows these two men very well, and she is giving them this ultimate ultimate gift. So I think it’s a really happy ending that these two people are able to kind of live their lives and take a breath and then they have the opportunity to get back together. Looks like it could be a fresh start.
Camilla Morrone, who plays Camilla Dunne, sums up the layered love triangle of her character, Daisy and Billy, in which the women support each other.
“Even though there are a lot of complications between Daisy and Camilla and obviously it’s like a massive love triangle, at the heart of it is a deep respect and admiration for each other,” Morrone said. “I think they’ve really been able to put into perspective Billie’s life and the different ways she contributes to her art. There’s great female dynamics in this show, everyone is just out there and there for each other even in the most stressful moments.” Incredible support.
Writer Taylor Jenkins Reed, who also executive produced the series, laid the foundation for the complex narrative of the female characters in her book.
“One of the most important things to me is that these women were presented as very different and not in conflict, even though they may have competing interests. You bring up Daisy and Karen and they have There are two different ways of doing things in the world. And Karen’s way doesn’t negate Daisy’s way and Daisy’s way doesn’t negate Karen’s way,” Reed told TheWrap. “Camilla is different from both of those, Simone takes a whole other journey. They all come across in a very sincere and, in my opinion, very compelling way, meaning ‘I respect how you’re doing it. , and I’m doing it differently.'”
A reunion of Billy and Daisy is also suggested in the book.
Executive producer Will Graham said, “The feel of the book is like the story is not over, and these two people are inextricably linked.” “They’re going to have separate chapters and they’re going to be in and out of each other’s lives, and it’s never going to be easy.”
Daisy Jones and the Six is now streaming on Prime Video.
