The Weeknd’s ‘The Idol’: Lily-Rose Depp transforms into ‘nasty, bad’ pop star in new trailer for controversial series

There have been rumors of conflict between The Weeknd and Levinson, but sources have dismissed them. The show remains very much about Depp’s character, and she has been an integral part of the creative process. HBO issued a statement in support of the show, stating that the creative team has been committed to creating a safe, collaborative, and mutually respectful working environment. The Idol will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month in the out of competition selection.
