Vinyl (2016), an American period drama television series, was created by Mick Jagger, Martin Scorsese, Rich Cohen and Terence Winter. The show follows Richie Finestra, a record executive in the 1970s. The pilot episode was directed by Scorsese, from a teleplay by Winter and George Mastras, with a story by Cohen, Jagger, Scorsese and Winter. Season one had ten episodes and Scorsese had hoped to direct more. However, Winter left his role as showrunner after creative disagreements and Scott Z. Burns took over. HBO announced the renewal of Vinyl for a second season on February 18, 2016, but later reversed their decision on June 22 due to low viewership. HBO’s head of programming Casey Bloys stated that they didn’t feel the potential retooling would be worth the producers’ time for minimal results. In October 2018, Scorsese expressed his disappointment with the cancellation and felt that if he had been more involved in directing all episodes, the series may have had a better chance at success.
In 1970s New York, the music scene is saturated with hedonism, but it’s no longer all about rock ‘n’ roll. We see punk, disco and hip-hop rising to the forefront. Richie Finestra, founder and president of American Century Records, is struggling to adapt to these changes. His once fervent love for music and talent scouting has taken a backseat. As he faces the imminent sale of his record label, a transformative event reignites Finestra’s career ambitions, potentially at the cost of his personal relationships.
