After months of anticipation, HBO Max has finally set a release date for The Idol<\/em><\/a>, starring Lily-Rose Depp<\/a> and Abel \u201cThe Weeknd<\/a>\u201d Tesfaye. The seedy pop melodrama will hit the streamer on Sunday, June 4 \u2014 and there’s a brand-new teaser to hold us over until then.<\/p>\n

The series<\/a>, co-created by Tesfaye, Euphoria <\/em><\/a>creator Sam Levinson<\/a> and Reza Fahim, follows pop star Jocelyn (portrayed by Depp) as she attempts to reclaim her status as the greatest and sexiest pop act in America after a nervous breakdown derailed her last tour. Her commitment and passions reach a new high after she meets and falls under the spell of Tedros (Tesfaye<\/a>), an L.A. nightclub manager-slash-self-help guru with a sordid involvement of a modern-day cult, reminiscent of NXIVM and Scientology. The official description begs the question, \u201cWill her romantic awakening take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul?\u201d<\/p>\n
