It’s finally happened, but is anyone surprised? Months after the final episode aired, HBO have officially announced that they will not be renewing their controversial series The Idol for a second season.
Billed as one of 2023’s most exciting shows, The Idol told the story of Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp), a pop star with a life ripped straight from the Britney Spears guidebook. Her career is on the rocks, she’s having a meltdown and then – horrors – she meets Tedros, a sort of sex-cult god played by The Weeknd. Together, they embark on what is supposed to be a passionate love affair. The problem is, they have more toxic chemistry than a tanker full of hazardous waste.
