Lily-Rose Depp is the biggest pop star on the planet in “The Idol.”
Depp leads the highly anticipated HBO series, co-created by co-star Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, Reza Fahim, and “Euphoria” showrunner Sam Levinson, as an iconic singer who gets scooped up in a dangerously charismatic club owner’s (Tesfaye) orbit. “The Idol” premieres June 4 on HBO, four days after the Emmy eligibility cutoff for 2023. The series makes its world debut at this year’s Cannes out of competition.
Per the official synopsis, after a nervous breakdown derailed Jocelyn’s (Depp) last tour, she’s determined to claim her rightful status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America. Her passions are reignited by Tedros (Tesfaye), a nightclub impresario with a sordid past. Will her romantic awakening take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul?
