Music, drama, and romance: this new HBO series promises it all. Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd star in The Idol. Check out the trailer for the show below:
The Idol comes from co-creator Sam Levinson, known for HBO’s hit Euphoria.
Here’s the official synopsis from HBO:
After a nervous breakdown derailed Jocelyn’s (Lily-Rose Depp) last tour, she’s determined to claim her rightful status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America. Her passions are reignited by Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye), a nightclub impresario with a sordid past. Will her romantic awakening take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul?
In addition to Depp and The Weeknd, the series also stars Troye Sivan, Dan Levy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Eli Roth, Hari Nef, Jane Adams, Jennie Ruby Jane, Mike Dean, Moses Sumney, Rachel Sennott, Ramsey, Suzanna Son, and Hank Azaria. The Weeknd and Reza Fahim also serve as co-creators and executive producers alongside Levinson.
The Idol will make its world premiere at the Cannes Festival. It will later premiere on HBO Sunday, June 4 at 9pm. Fans can also stream the show on Max.
