Nominated for two BAFTA Television Awards, “Pistol” will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.99 for Digital.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
“Pistol” is a six-episode limited series about a rock and roll revolution. The furious, raging storm at the center of this revolution is the Sex Pistols — and at the center of this series is Sex Pistols founding member and guitarist Steve Jones. Jones’s 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’s 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 and culture forever.
Starring Maisie Williams (TV’s “Game of Thrones,” “The New Mutants,” “The Book of Love”), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (TV’s “The Queen’s Gambit,” “The Maze Runner” movie franchise, “Love Actually”), Toby Wallace (TV’s “The Bikeriders,” “Babyteeth,” TV’s “The Society”), and Talulah Riley (TV’s “Westworld, “Pride & Prejudice,” “Bloodshot”).
Available on Digital May 13th
