The new trailer has been released for The Weeknd's new HBO series 'The Idol.' It looks intense. Also, I can't get over that Dan Levy from 'Schitt's Creek' is in it. Lol.
The âBlinding Lightsâ history-maker, 33, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, portrays shady nightclub owner Tedros, who becomes obsessed with Jocelyn, an up-and-coming pop star played by ânepo babyâ Lily-Rose Depp, 23.
âWhen was the last truly f â â king nasty, nasty bad-pop girl?â asks Jocelynâs friend Caleb, portrayed by singer Troye Sivan, 27, as she poses for a sexy photo shoot in the teaser.
Set to Britney Spearsâ âGimme More,â the nearly 2-minute clip shows Tedros and Jocelyn meeting for the first time in a club, where Tedros tells her: âYouâve got the best job in the world. You should be having way more fun.â
âMore funâ indeed ensues, including sex-tinged scenes of partying, drinking and consuming cocaine that seemingly combines âEuphoriaâ and â50 Shades of Grey.â
That is quite the combo. The show airs on HBO June 4th.
