Plot Details
According to its official logline, The Idol will follow the journey of a pop singer who gets romantically involved with an enigmatic club owner—who also happens to be the leader of a secret cult. The leading lady is yet to be cast, while the “Blinding Lights” singer is expected to play the role of the enigmatic cult leader.
Creative Team
In addition to playing one of the key roles, The Weeknd also co-created the series alongside his producing partner Reza Fahim and the Euphoria creator Sam Levinson. He’ll be credited as one of the co-writers and executive producers of The Idol.
The Weeknd’s Acting Credits
The Idol will give the Canadian singer a chance to try his hand at acting, but he’s not a total stranger to this craft. The anxiety-inducing crime drama Uncut Gems served as his acting debut, but he was playing the fictionalized version of himself in this critically acclaimed project.
