“He didn't see the future. He heard it.”
Creator
Terence Winter, Rich Cohen
A New York record label boss in 1973 is drowning in debt, cocaine and a music business that has stopped making sense to him, just as punk and hip hop start stirring at the edges. Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, Terence Winter and Rich Cohen developed the HBO drama, with Scorsese directing the feature-length pilot. Bobby Cannavale plays Richie Finestra, alongside Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano and Juno Temple as an ambitious assistant. HBO aired ten episodes in 2016 and cancelled the show after one season despite an initial renewal.
