The release date for The Idol Episode 5 is here. If you have watched the famous HBO series Euphoria and love that show, then this new show, The Idol, is for you because it is also a drama series similar to that show.
Sam Levinson is the creator of the show, and he has done some extraordinary direction with HBO, and that is the reason the production company trusts him to create this other show. His favorite genre is this type of show because he usually adds sex and substance abuse in his drama shows which were already seen in the show Euphoria, but this show is considered 100 times more different and unique from the previous show.
The trailer was also released before the release of the episodes, which also gave the plot of this adult show, and some of the fans may also get triggered because of the traumatic scenes that were shown in the show.
If you look around the plot, we see that a cult Guru is in a relationship with a rising pop star, and their relationship is troubled. Abel Tesfaye is the lead actor in this show, and he is also the writer along with Sam. The role that he plays in the show is named Tedros.
He is a self-claimed Guru and also a leader of a cult, and now he is focusing on a rising pop star in his country whose name is Joycelyn, who is suffering from a setback in her career due to some personal reasons.
The character of Joycelyn is played by Lily-Rose Depp. She had an issue in her career due to which she had to cancel all her tours, and she also had a nervous breakdown when she was between her friends. But at the beginning of the show, we saw how her journey went on to get the title of the sexiest pop star in the country once again.
The Idol Episode 4 Recap
In the previous episode, which is episode 4, we saw Destiny, who moved into the house of Joycelyn so that she could keep an eye on Tedros. The reason was that he was trying to make a hit with Mike and Jocelyn, but at the same time, they were abusing her and folding her into his cult.
After that, we saw how Xander was tortured by Tedros because he wanted him to admit that he was lying about the relationship between him and Jocelyn and also her mother. Joss continued his torture and declared him a liar, and after that, Xander was so broken that he also became a member of the cult.
Jocelyn came to know about Tedros, and he asked Dyanne to introduce him to Jocelyn. The source of information was Chloe. And later, Dyanne told Joycelyn that the label wanted to release World Class Sinner, made by Dyanne.
And after knowing all this, Joycelyn came in contact with Rob, who is his movie star ex who also used to come to her home to have sex with her, and Tedros, who was disturbed by that and used to cry outside the door. And Xander found a photo of Rob in a controversial tike, and Tedros gave him the order to do that.
