Trailer for Danny Boyle's FX Sex Pistols Series PISTOL About Rock & Roll Revolution

FX has released the first trailer for the upcoming limited series biopic Pistol, which tells the story of the iconic rock band Sex Pistols. The series comes from director Danny Boyle, who helmed all six episodes of the show.

The series is based in the memoir of Steve Jones, the legendary Sex Pistols guitarist who helped usher in a punk revolution in Britain. It’s about the rock & roll revolution, and this is the synopsis that was shared:

The furious, raging storm at the center of this revolution are the Sex Pistols – and at the center of this series is Sex Pistols' founding member and guitarist, Steve Jones. Jones' hilarious, emotional and at times heart-breaking journey guides us through a kaleidoscopic telling of three of the most epic, chaotic and mucus-spattered years in the history of music. Based on Jones' memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, this is the story of a band of spotty, noisy, working-class kids with "no future," who shook the boring, corrupt Establishment to its core, threatened to bring down the government and changed music & culture forever.

This looks like it’s going to be a fantastic series! I love the music of the Sex Pistols, but I know very little about their history, so this series is going to be an interesting watch.

The series stars Anson Boon as Johnny Rotten, Toby Wallace as Steve Jones, Christian Lees as Glen Matlock, Jacob Slater as Paul Cook, Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, and Maisie Williams as Jordan, with Emma Appleton, Dylan Llewellyn, Jay Simpson, Razan Nassar, Sydney Chandler, and Iris Law. Plus Zachary Goldman as Billy Idol.

FX will debut Boyle's Pistol on Hulu starting on May 31st, 2022. Rock out to the trailer below!
