Amy Heckerling offers a satirical look at what goes on behind the scenes of the music industry in “Royalties.” The “Clueless” director helmed the upcoming Quibi series about Sara (Kether Donohue, “You’re the Worst”) and Pierce (Daren Criss, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”), an increasingly in-demand songwriting duo.
Featuring original songs and music videos, “Royalties” sees Sara and Pierce doing their best to accommodate inflated egos and unreasonable demands — including a client who wants one song that features “every music genre that’s ever been.”
“We’re a team,” says Sara. The pep talk takes a self-deprecating turn when she adds, “With our powers combined, we do the work of one songwriter.”
“Royalties” premieres June 1.
