The Weeknd says he's thankful for "The Idol" as the controversial show's fate remains uncertain at HBO.
"Grateful to share this moment with you all as the season comes to an end," the Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) tweeted days after the series finale aired Sunday. He shared behind-the-scenes photos of himself and co-star Lily-Rose Depp filming a key scene at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, where he performed last fall.
Created by "Euphoria" writer and director Sam Levinson, Tesfaye and Reza Fahim, Season 1 of "The Idol" followed tormented pop star Jocelyn (Depp), who is determined to regain her stardom, and her relationship with sleazy nightclub owner Tedros (Tesfaye). "The Idol" concluded after months of criticism and controversy — including an allegedly rocky production process.
