HBO’s The Idol trailer is a pop-music odyssey led by The Weeknd

The Weeknd’s HBO pop odyssey, The Idol, has a new trailer that gives us our best look yet at the series’ drug-fueled world of pop music and celebrity. Along with Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye as Tedrosk, a pop-music producer who seems one-step away from being a cult leader, the series also stars Lily-Rose Depp as Jocelyn, his new protégé, Suzanna Son (Red RocketJennie Ruby Jan (Blackpink) and Jennie. HBO is set to debut the show on 4 June.

Based on this latest trailer, it seem that the story will follow Jocelyn as a burgeoning pop star who falls in thrall to Tedros who wants to turn her into ’90’s style popstar — complete with flashy outfits, pop ballads, and massive international stardom. Of course, the trailer also suggests that he’s got a few much more sinister things in mind for Jocelyn, too.

Tesfaye and Reza Fahim are the creators of this series. Euphoria Sam Levinson was the director and creator of the film. The Idol.
