Disney+ and Hulu confirm Danny Boyle-directed Sex Pistols series premiere date

New Danny Boyle-directed Sex Pistols series Pistol officially has a premiere date!

The six-episode show will arrive in full on May 31, hitting Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ in UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. It's also 'coming soon' to Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in all other territories.

A description of Pistol – which is based on Steve Jones’ 2017 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol – says that it's all 'about a rock'n'roll revolution'.

'The furious, raging storm at the centre of this revolution are the Sex Pistols – and at the centre of this series is Sex Pistols’ founding member and guitarist, Steve Jones,' continues the synopsis. 'Jones’ 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’ 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.'

Pistol stars Toby Wallace as Steve Jones, Jacob Slater as Paul Cook, Anson Boon as John Lydon, Christian Lees as Glen Matlock and Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, plus Sydney Chandler as Chrissie Hynde, Talulah Riley as Vivienne Westwood, Maisie Williams as punk icon Jordan, Emma Appleton as Nancy Spungen and Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Malcolm McLaren.
