HBO’s upcoming show ‘The Idol’ is one of the most talked about shows of recent times. The show has triggered dollops of controversy owing to its graphic sexual content and bold themes. The show comes from Sam Levinson, who’s also the creator of the equally controversial and sexually-explicit HBO show, ‘Euphoria’.
‘The Idol’ premieres on HBO in the USA on 4th June, 2023. For viewers in India who are keen to watch the show, we’ve got confirmed information on ‘The Idol’ OTT release date in India, along with the OTT platform it will premiere on. Viewers will be happy to know that ‘The Idol’ will premiere in India along with its US release, albeit one day late, owing to the time difference between the two countries. The Idol premieres in India on 5th June, 2023, on Jio Cinema, the new home of HBO content in India.
The show is created by Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye, Reza Fahim, and Sam Levinson. The Idol centres on Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp), an aspiring pop idol whose career is in jeopardy after she has a nervous breakdown, and her last tour is canceled. With an aim to reclaim her title as the sexiest pop star in America, she begins a complex relationship with Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye), a self-help guru and the head of a contemporary cult.
Besides Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd, the cast of The Idol includes Suzanna Son, Troye Sivan, Moses Sumney, Jane Adams, Dan Levy, Jennie Ruby Jane, Eli Roth, Rachel Sennott, Hari Nef, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Mike Dean, Ramsey, and Hank Azaria, among others. The Idol is also the final TV appearance of Anne Heche, who died last year in a road accident.
