Martin Scorsese is teaming up with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and Terence Winter ("Boardwalk Empire") for a 1970s-set HBO series about the period's music scene, and the first teaser for the project has arrived.

The show is called "Vinyl" and I've included the official synopsis at the bottom of this post, but it's a '70s set series revolving around American Century Records, exploring the period's music scene. Bobby Cannavale heads the fictional record label and is joined by the likes of Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde and James Jagger as the series' main players, while P.J. Byrne, Joe Caniano, Andrew Dice Clay, Max Casella, J.C. MacKenzie, Birgitte Hjort Sorensen, Juno Temple, Jack Quaid, and Paul Ben-Victor round out the cast.

Premium cable network, HBO, is securing its future with two of their previous collaborators set to reunite for an as-yet untitled rock n’ roll drama series. Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter will be heading up the project as executive producers alongside Mick Jagger and Breaking Bad‘s George Mastras. Scorsese will take to the director’s chair for the pilot, while Winter and Mastras will both pen the series.

Also starring are Ray Romano as Zak Yankovich, a seasoned music industry vet with a dark mob-fueled past, and Juno Temple as a streetwise, rising star assistant with subcultural savvy. The series will revolve in and around the fictional American Century Records.
