Cast your beautiful mind back to early June. We were two episodes into Abel Tesfaye (formerly known as ‘The Weeknd’) and Sam Levinson‘s series The Idol. It was already copping some serious heat for its portrayal of Lily-Rose Depp‘s character Jocelyn, unsafe sex, and for Tesfaye’s character being straight-up icky as hell. It was this early on that reports came flying out that Season Two of the series was already canned. Then, shortly after, HBO refuted these claims. But it turns out we were right all along and Season Two of The Idol has been thrown in the bin.
What a rollercoaster. Let’s get into it.
