Effectively, this isn’t solely shocking, however right here it’s anyway. The Weeknd and and Sam Levinson’s poorly reviewed and extremely controversial HBO present The Idol starring Lily-Rose Depp received’t be getting a second season, in response to the Hollywood Reporter.
“The Idol was certainly one of HBO’s most provocative authentic packages, and we’re happy by the sturdy viewers response,” an HBO spokesperson mentioned in an announcement. “After a lot thought and consideration, HBO, in addition to the creators and producers have determined to not transfer ahead with a second season. We’re grateful to the creators, forged, and crew for his or her unbelievable work.” Apparently a choice to resume was “in flux” up till lately. Gotta love that PR language — “sturdy viewers response” is definitely a method of placing it.
In June, studies surfaced that The Idol had been canceled earlier than its five-episode season wrapped airing — rumors that turned out to be false on the time. Guess HBO simply wanted a while and distance earlier than formally pulling the plug.
