The Weeknd’s ‘The Idol’ HBO Series Could Premiere at Cannes Film Festival

Date:

Cannes Film Festival attendees may be excited to witness The Weeknd’s ‘The Idol’ HBO series debut, a show that promises to be an incredible experience for all involved.

It is rumored that The Weeknd’s much-anticipated HBO series, The Idol, will debut at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Reliable sources have informed Variety that negotiations are underway, but nothing is yet set in stone. Despite the current uncertainty, this would not be the first time a TV series has had its inaugural screening at Cannes; Twin Peaks: The Return and Top of the Lake: China Doll both premiered here in recent years. HBO has stayed silent on the speculation, but an earlier report indicated that the show would debut in June 2023.

Tedros, the proprietor of a Los Angeles nightclub and the covert leader of a cult, is mesmerizingly portrayed by The Weeknd in The Idol. Lily-Rose Depp brings to life Jocelyn – an up-and-coming singer under Tedros’ tutelage – who will traverse through the extreme highs and lows that come with navigating fame in the complex music industry. In addition to The Weeknd and Depp, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Troye Sivan, Moses Sumney, Dan Levy, Hank Azaria, and others have joined the cast. Furthermore, Nico Hiraga and Tyson Ritter will be recurring characters in this production.

Be sure to stay up-to-date with the latest information.
