The Weeknd’s much talked about HBO show The Idol has announced the date for the premiere: June 4.
The Idol debuts Sunday, June 4 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The series will air on HBO and also be available to stream on Max. The series is co-created by Sam Levinson (HBO’s “Euphoria”), Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Reza Fahim, and stars Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Lily-Rose Depp. The series will premiere at this year’s Festival de Cannes. Watch a newly released trailer below.
“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?”
Abel recently criticized Rolling Stone magazine after it reported that the direction of his HBO show as “gone wildly, disgustingly off the rails.” Last week, he also revealed the news about The Idol Vol. 1 which looks like it will be a soundtrack to accompany the series.
