Cameron Crowe‘s Roadies, which stars Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, Imogen Poots and Rafe Spall is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video in the UK. What’s more it’s coming to the streaming service very soon – Monday.
The show is executive produced by Crowe, J.J. Abrams and Winnie Holzman, and episodes 1 & 2 of the music-inspired comedy series will debut on Monday 4thJuly, with subsequent episodes launching weekly, only a day after they premiere in the US, starting on Monday 11th July. Great news, right?
Roadies is a new comedy series that follows the day-to-day life of a successful rock tour, but with a simple twist: the band is in the background, and the roadies take the spotlight. This is an inside look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of characters who live for music, and the improvised family they’ve formed along the way.
“Cameron Crowe and Winnie Holzman are both amazing story tellers and having both of their voices behind Roadies makes it one of the most anticipated series of the year.” stated Brad Beale, Vice President of Worldwide Television Acquisition for Amazon. “Joining shows like The Man in the High Castle, Transparent, Mr. Robot, Preacher and the upcoming Clarkson, Hammond and May show, The Grand Tour, Roadies is a great addition to our line-up and we’re sure that Prime customers are going to love it.”
The series also features guest stars Jacqueline Byers (Ascension), Luis Guzman (Traffic), Finesse Mitchell (Saturday Night Live), Branscombe Richmond (Renegade) and Tanc Sade (Gilmore Girls). The show is a celebration of the crew members who live in the pockets of the people they work with, trying to remember which city they’re in, and moving heaven and earth to give the fans an experience they’ll never forget. They are the ones who literally get the show on the road.
