Following in the footsteps of other uncensored HBO shows, The Idol promises sex, drugs, more sex, and an impressive ensemble cast, headed by Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) himself. So far, we know the former plays a pop star named Jocelyn (the titular idol?) whilst the latter plays her beau Tedros, an enigmatic LA club owner and modern-day cult leader. Besides that (and a bucketload of controversy), here’s what else to expect from the “sick and twisted minds” of Levinson and Tesfaye.

The teaser for The Idol begins as it means to go on, with scenes of semi-nudity, erotic dancing, and drug use. “Lick it, spank it, drop it, camera, money,” a choreographer chants over the thumping pop music, “Uh-uh-uh, more, more, more, orgy!” she demands, as the music quiets and Tedros asks Jocelyn, “Why don’t you just be yourself?”

“Because there’s nothing about me that’s relatable,” she replies (inadvertently voicing criticism of Euphoria characters). More dancing, touching, and indulging follow before Tedros asks the pop star, “Do you trust me?” and she smirks, telling him, “Not really.”

A second teaser shows much of the same, except it introduces more cast members, including Dan Levy, Jennie Ruby Jane, and Rachel Sennott. It appears that Jennie of Blackpink, in particular, will have a significant role in the series as Jocelyn’s best friend, though nothing has been confirmed about her character just yet. We’re also waiting on a release date for The Idol, as the teaser ends with the tantalizing words, “Coming soon.”

The Idol marks Tesfaye’s first major acting role and Depp’s first television role. Tesfaye, professionally known as The Weeknd, is best known as the versatile singer-songwriter behind hits such as “Starboy” and “Blinding Lights,” though he isn’t entirely new to acting. In 2019, he starred in the A24 crime drama Uncut Gems, directed by Josh and Benny Safdie and starring Adam Sandler. Playing a fictionalized version of himself, the singer-turned-actor had a small but memorable role in the film, which involved a fight scene with protagonist Howard Ratner (Sandler).

Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis and Hollywood icon Johnny Depp, has considerably more acting experience, though The Idol could very well be her breakthrough hit. Depp began her acting career with a small role in the A24 horror comedy Tusk and has since starred in Yoga Hosers (a spin-off of the previous film), The King, and more. Playing a pop star in The Idol, Depp previously lent her voice to Yoga Hosers, singing covers of songs with co-star Harley Quinn Smith. Like her mother, she can carry a tune.

Other names in the packed cast of The Idol include musical artists Troye Sivan, Moses Sumney, and Jennie Ruby Jane. More actors confirmed include:

Hari Nef (Transparent, Assassination Nation) Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek, Happiest Season) Da’Vine Joy Randolph (High Fidelity, The Lost City) Jane Adams (Happiness, Hacks) Suzanna Son (Red Rocket) Nico Haraga (Booksmart, Moxie) Rachel Sennott (Shiva Baby, Bodies Bodies Bodies) Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel) Hank Azaria (The Smurfs, The Simpsons) Anne Heche (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Six Days, Seven Nights)

The Weeknd co-created The Idol with Sam Levinson and his own longtime creative producer, Reza Fahim. The six-part series was originally set to be directed by Amy Seimetz, but following the project’s change in creative direction, Seimetz left to be replaced by Levinson. Sam Levinson is best known as the controversial creator of HBO’s teen drama Euphoria, though he also directed the movies Another Happy Day, Assassination Nation, and, more recently, Malcolm & Marie. The Idol is produced by A24, a studio the director is familiar with, having served as executive producer on the A24 movies X and Pearl, both directed by Ti West.

The Weeknd, Levinson, and Fahim are credited as co-writers of the series. Joe Epstein and Mary Laws are also included as writers, the latter of whom co-wrote the screenplay for the thematically similar The Neon Demon, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Elle Fanning. The Weeknd may be new to television, but as a songwriter, he’s used to telling stories through his music. Many of his songs recount personal experiences, and, incidentally, he loves to sing about sex, drugs, and alcohol: the three things viewers can expect a lot of in The Idol.

The Idol has no official release date yet.
