Showtime’s just debuted the official trailer for Roadies, a new comedy series created by Oscar winner Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous). The trailer, which features the song ‘Hard Sun’ by Eddie Vedder, stars Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, Imogen Poots, Rafe Spall, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Peter Cambor, Colson Baker, and Ron White.
The cast also includes Finesse Mitchell, Jacqueline Byers, Luis Guzman, Branscombe Richmond, and Tanc Sade. Crowe writes, directs and executive produces. My So-Called Life‘s Winnie Holzman is also on board as a writer and executive producer. J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens), Bryan Burk (Lost) and Len Goldstein (Hart of Dixie) also serve as executive producers. Pearl Jam’s manager Kelly Curtis is a producer and the show’s music supervisor.
Season one of the one-hour series will consist of 10 episodes kicking off on Sunday, June 26, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT.
The Plot: Roadies gives an insider’s look at the reckless, romantic, funny, and often poignant lives of a committed group of “roadies” who live for music and the de facto family they’ve formed along the way. The series chronicles the rock world through the eyes of music’s unsung heroes and pays homage to the backstage workers who put the show on the road while touring the United States for the successful arena-level group, The Staton-House Band.
