Is There a Future for Daisy Jones & the Six?

Despite being a limited series, Daisy Jones & The Six demonstrated the potential for expanding beyond its original source material, as seen in previous examples like Under the Dome which ran for three seasons based on Stephen King's novel. This trend of extending series has become more frequent in recent years, as evident with shows like Good Omens, Big Little Lies, and 13 Reasons Why all receiving expanded season orders.
A significant advantage of Daisy Jones & The Six is its initial popularity. The series quickly soared to the top of Prime Video's Top 10 list shortly after its release and has garnered positive ratings from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Additionally, the original music album from the series achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first by a fictional band to reach the number one spot on the iTunes music chart.
The future of Daisy Jones & The Six looks promising due to these factors. However, it is unlikely for any progress to be made on another season until the dual Hollywood strikes conclude. These strikes involve actors and writers advocating for fair pay. If the cast's availability can be arranged for a new season, the executive producers' statement indicates that there is significant potential for the story to continue.
