The Monkees background

The Monkees

A hapless pop group navigates the ups and downs of the music industry.

The show follows the lives of four young men, Micky, Mike, Peter, and Davy, as they navigate the ups and downs of a struggling country-folk-rock band in 1960s LA. With a cast of quirky characters and winking nods to TV and movie tropes, the series blends music, comedy, and drama as the band searches for stardom.
