Pistol
, Danny Boyle's series dedicated to the Sex Pistols arrives on May 31 on Disney+.
Adapted from the memoir of guitarist Steve Jones entitled
Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol
, this series will therefore look back on the rise of the famous British punk band.
“
Pistol
is a six-episode mini-series about the rock 'n' roll revolution.
The furious, raging storm at the center of this revolution is called Sex Pistols – and at the center of this series is guitarist and founding member of the Sex Pistols, Steve Jones,” the platform announced in a statement relayed by the NME.
No future
"The hilarious, touching, and at times heartbreaking trajectory of Steve Jones guides us through the kaleidoscopic tale of three of the most epic, chaotic, and mucus-splattered years in music history," the statement continued.
"It's the story of a bunch of pimply, loud, no-future working-class kids who punch a boring and corrupt system in the heart, threatening to bring down the government and change the music and culture in never.

The production of
Pistol
was therefore entrusted to Danny Boyle while the writing returned to Craig Pearce, to whom we owe the scripts for the great films by Baz Luhrmann such as
Romeo + Juliette
,
Moulin Rouge
and
The Great Gatsby
.
On the casting side, the angry quartet is played by Toby Wallace (Steve Jones), Jacob Slater (Paul Cook), Anson Boon (John Lydon) and Louis Partridge (Sid Vicious).
