Plot
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network's boss John Landgraf revealed the series would take place from the band's formation in the early 1960s through 1972.

Cast
This is where things get spicy. The team behind the limited series is none other than the producers of Netflix’s award-winning drama series ‘The Crown', as published by The Hollywood Reporter.

Also, fans will be treated with two seasons of the show.
Talking about the cast, the makers have not spilled the beans on the same yet. It is too early to guess who will be roped in to play the members of the band, namely Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.
