Overview

• All eight episodes of the YA musical drama are now streaming on Prime Video following a September 1, 2025 binge release.
• Critics broadly commend the band’s onstage performance and songs, while Variety delivers a scathing review of the show’s storytelling and Los Angeles Times calls it light, wish-fulfilling teen fare.
• The series features real musicians William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher playing versions of themselves, created by Outer Banks’ Jonas Pate and set in Wilmington, N.C.
• Music is central to the rollout, pairing original tracks with extensive needle drops from acts like The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, U2, The Rolling Stones and INXS, alongside an Arista release co-produced by Jerry Harrison plus merch and fall tour dates.
• Jonas Pate has said Prime Video ordered a second season ahead of the premiere, and some early viewers report bailing after a few episodes, citing unoriginal storytelling.
