American network HBO has pulled the plug on “The Idol,” a five-episode series starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, created by Sam Levinson, Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye, and Reza Fahim. The show’s debut in June was marred by controversies and negative reviews. Despite strong audience response, HBO, along with creators and producers, decided against a second season due to conflicted audience and cast sentiments regarding its viability. The series faced production issues, reshoots, and creative disputes.
