The Idol Eddy Chen/HBO
Despite reports that The Weeknd‘s new HBO show The Idol wouldn’t be returning momentarily period, HBO’s interactions group required to Twitter on Thursday (June 15) to establish the document directly.
“It is being misreported that a decision on a second season of The Idol has been determined,” the @HBOPR account tweeted. “It has not, and we look forward to sharing the next episode with you Sunday night.”
Reports of The Idol‘s absence of revival began swirling earlier Thursday after Page Six released a tale specifying that the destiny of the program was uncertain, with a source informing the electrical outlet that the program “was never meant to be a long-running show, it was always … a limited series.”
At a May 23 interview at Cannes, The Weeknd — that co-created the collection and also celebrities as Tedros — stated that he and also co-creator Sam Levinson had a goal of stirring the pot and also developing “something special, something fun, to make people laugh, piss some people off.”
Lily-Rose Depp, that stars as the program’s lead character Jocelyn, included that working with the program — regardless of its reaction and also reports of stressful collection problems — has actually mostly been a favorable experience. “It’s always a little sad and disheartening to see mean, false things said about someone you care about. It wasn’t reflective of my experience,” she stated at Cannes.

It is being misreported that a choice on a 2nd period of The Idol has actually been figured out. It has not, and also we expect sharing the following episode with you Sunday evening.
