Max/HBO Max “The Idol”

The Max platform revealed the official trailer for the series "The Idol", where the characters of Lily-Rose Depp and Abel 'The Weekend' Tesfaye stand out. The series will be available on the Max streaming platform (HBO Max) from June 4.

We are in Los Angeles, California, and after a nervous breakdown destabilised Jocelyn's last tour, she is determined to regain her status as the biggest and sexiest pop star in the United States. For this to happen, she is forced to follow the guidelines of her new "guru" Tedros, a disco businessman with a sordid past.

The dark side of the music industry full of alcohol, sex and drugs is revealed. Jocelyn will have to be stronger to be able to escape this reality, which transcends the series itself. The song of the trailer is "Gimme More" by Britney Spears, an artist who has a history very similar to this series.
