July 19, 2022 by Matt Rodgers

Set in the L.A. music industry, The Idol is the latest from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, who has teamed up with Grammy-winning musician The Weeknd to tell the hedonistic story of a self-help guru and leader of a modern-day cult who embarks on a complicated relationship with an up-and-coming pop singer, played by Lily-Rose Depp. 

All six-episodes have been helmed by She Dies Tomorrow director Amy Seimetz, who has assembled a cast that includes Suzanna Son, Troye Sivan, Steve Zissis, Melanie Liburd, Tunde Adebimpe, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren, Nico Hiraga and Anne Heche; check out the stylish new teaser below…

A self-help guru and leader of a modern-day cult enters a complicated relationship with a rising pop idol. From the sick and twisted minds of Sam Levinson and The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, who stars alongside Lily-Rose Depp, comes The Idol.
