                                <p>Drama <em>The Idol</em> will not see a second season on HBO. <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/hbo-sets-june-premiere-for-the-idol-from-euphoria-creator-sam-levinson">The show, from Sam Levinson, debuted June 4</a>. </p><p>Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Reza Fahim created the series alongside Levinson. </p><p>The Weeknd and Lily Rose-Depp were in the cast. </p><p>Depp’s pop star Jocelyn sustained a nervous breakdown that ended her tour, but she is determined to come back as the biggest, sexiest star in the nation. The Weeknd plays Tedros, a dodgy nightclub impresario. </p><p>Troye Sivan, Dan Levy and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are also in the cast. </p><p>“<em>The Idol</em> was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response," HBO said in a statement. "After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season. We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work.”</p><p>Executive producers are Levinson, Tesfaye, Fahim, Kevin Turen, Ashley Levinson, Joe Epstein, Aaron L. Gilbert for BRON, and Sara E. White. <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/hbo-greenlights-third-season-of-euphoria">Levinson, creator of HBO hit <em>Euphoria</em>, </a>directed all the episodes. </p><p>Reviews were mostly unkind. <em>Rolling Stone</em> called the show “twisted torture porn.” NPR described <em>The Idol </em>as “stylish yet oddly inert.”</p>
