HBO’s "The Idol" Gets Premiere Date

HBO has unveiled the premiere date for the music drama "The Idol" starring Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Lily-Rose Depp. 

The series is set to debut on the network on Sunday, June 4, 2023, at 9:00 PM.

Co-created by Sam Levinson (Euphoria), Tesfaye, and Reza Fahim, the drama follows Jocelyn (Depp), a singer determined to claim her rightful status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America after a nervous breakdown that derailed her last tour. 

Her passion is 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? 

The cast also stars Dan Levy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Eli Roth, Hari Nef, Jane Adams, Jennie Ruby Jane, Mike Dean, Moses Sumney, Rachel Sennott, Ramsey, Suzanna Son, and Hank Azaria.

Levinson, Tesfaye, and Fahim executive produce with Kevin Turen, Ashley Levinson, Joseph Epstein, Aaron L. Gilbert for Bron, and Sara E. White. Levinson also directs. The series is produced in partnership with A24.

"The Idol" will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month in the out-of-competition selection.
