The Rolling Stones‘ first decade will be the subject of a limited TV series for FX. The still-unnamed official series will be produced by the same team behind the hit show chronicling Britain’s royal family, The Crown. The series, which has been ordered for two seasons, is the first time the band has allowed their music to be used for such a production, and will be written by High Fidelity author Nick Hornby.

According to Deadline, “The high-end series will focus on the band’s glory years between its formation through to 1972, which includes a fantastic run of hit albums such as Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile On Main Street.” No premiere date has been announced.
