HBO’s upcoming show, The Idol, is set to premiere on Sunday, June 4 at 9 p.m. A new trailer for the erotic drama has been released, featuring Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd in Sam Levinson’s revamped version. The series previously stirred up controversy after production insiders alleged to Rolling Stone that the show was essentially “torture porn.” However, the stars of the show have expressed their support for co-collaborator Sam Levinson.
Depp plays singer Jocelyn, who is on a mission to reclaim her status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America after a nervous breakdown derailed her last tour. Her passions are reignited by Tedros (The Weeknd), a nightclub impresario with a sordid past. The official synopsis teases whether Jocelyn’s romantic awakening will take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul.
