The Idol
We all crave things that aren't good for us.
Created by Sam Levinson, Abel Tesfaye, Reza Fahim
On HBO
A dark, high-energy exploration of fame-seeking and romantic entrapment in the music industry, built on visual excess and psychological manipulation rather than genuine connection.
After a nervous breakdown derailed Jocelyn's 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, 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?
