HBO Orders Martin Scorsese & Mick Jagger's Drama About 1970s NYC Record Exec

Get ready for a new HBO show about the 1970s music scene in New York City. The cable channel has ordered a new series from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter about a record executive—and all the characters in his life—as he tries "to resurrect his label and find the next new sound."

Winter will be writing, while Scorsese, Jagger and Winter are among the executive producers. (Scorsese directed the Rolling Stones documentary Shine a Light, and he also worked with Winter on Boardwalk Empire as well as The Wolf of Wall Street.) From Variety:

The hourlong drama will star Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, the founder and president of a top-tier record label, American Century Records, with a great ear for discovering talent. Richie undergoes a crisis of character when confronted with a life-altering decision. Olivia Wilde will play his wife, Devon, a former actress/model who lived a Bohemian life in 1960s New York. Richie’s crisis causes strain on their family and propels her to re-immerse in her former lifestyle.

Ray Romano will appear as Zak Yankovich, one of Richie’s partners — the tough and savvy Head of Promotions of American Century with decades of experience dating back to the dark, mob-infested days of the recording business. Juno Temple will also star as Jamie Vine, is an ambitious assistant in the A&R Department of American Century. She uses her keen abilities to manipulate people and blend into the various subcultures of the New York music underground, in order to break through the glass ceiling and get ahead at the record label.

Rounding out the cast are Andrew “Dice” Clay; Ato Essandoh; Max Casella; James Jagger; Jack Quaid; Birgitte Sorenson; P.J. Byrne; J.C. MacKenzie; Bo Dietl; Robert Funaro and Joe Caniano.
