The Idol, Lily-Rose Depp enters the dirty world of music industry
The Idol is The Weeknd‘s first attempt the produce a TV series. Based on what I have seen by far, it is a risk that is worth taking.
It is his collaboration with A24. Sam Levinson has written and directed this show. Levinson is the genius behind the hit award winning show Euphoria that stars Zendaya.
Given the reputation of Euphoria, you can rest assured that The Idol will delve into the dark subject matter. The music business has a lot of dirty little secrets hidden away in its attic.
Lily-Rose Depp got her big break as the lead star of this series. If you recognize her name, you may already know that her father, Johnny Depp, is a movie star and that she is following in his footsteps.
The Weeknd will also appear in this series in an acting capacity. He is better known for his music, but in his music video, he displays some acting ability, so I think it’s possible he could crossover into other domains. Pop stars Troye Sivan and Jennie Kim also set-asides their microphones for an acting script.
Debby Ryan, who previously starred in the now-canceled Insatiable, an original series produced by Netflix, has joined the cast as well.
The Idol first trailer
Jocelyn, portrayed by Lily-Rose Depp, is an aspiring pop singer. She listens to and acts upon the direction management gave her to succeed in the music industry.
She lives in Los Angeles and tries to live a lifestyle similar to Hollywood’s, but she has the impression that something is still lacking in her life. During the most challenging times in her life, Jocelyn confides all her issues in a self-help guru named Tedros (The Weeknd). She has a romantic relationship with him but is unaware he is a cult leader.

After making a comeback with the quickest music video to garner 100 million views on YouTube, Jennie Kim will make her acting debut in the television series “The Idol.” Uncanny! Jennie, I can’t wait to see you. I can’t wait to see this because it will be Jennie’s acting debut and I love The Weeknd. The comment section on YouTube got invaded by Jennie fans and she is not even the lead actress.

Lily has always intrigued me, ever since I first saw her in that French movie with Louis Garrel. Now she’ll perform in this series alongside Jennie, one of my favorite musicians, and I can’t wait. The release of this trailer was SO expertly timed by HBO. The marketing staff deserves praise. This might be as powerful as euphoria.
