A new TV series about the music industry co-produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger will premiere on HBO in 2016, it has been announced. The “rock’n’roll drama”, Vinyl!
Viewers will follow the drama through the eyes of Richie Finestra, a record executive played by Cannavale, who is tying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound.
Finestra has an ear for talent, but a life-changing decision puts a heavy strain on his relationship with his actress-model wife Devon, played by Wilde, and his business partner Zak Yankovich – Ray Romano. James Jagger plays Kip Stevens, the lead singer of an early punk rock band called the Nasty Bits.

The first trailer is now here, and it’s full of classic Scorsese touches: white powders, voiceovers, guns and people punching each other. All to be expected of its writers, too: Terence Winter of The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and The Wolf of Wall Street and Breaking Bad’s George Mastras.
