The Idol Teaser 2 has now been released, confirming a whole new bunch of characters and cast members. It also provides the fans with a remarkable insight into who Jocelyn will be and her relationship with Abel’s character. The show is set for a release on HBO soon. The lead roles are shared by Lily-Rose Depp and Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd). Lily reprises the role of Jocelyn. The teaser starts with a text reading, “From the Gutters of Hollywood”. Then we see a clip of Abel’s character receiving a call from someone. He calls them Angel.
The teaser now shifts over to Jocelyn walking out of an office-like setting that has multiple records hanging on the walls. We can assume that this is a production house. It is clear from the plot description that Jocelyn is an aspiring music idol who wants to make her name in the industry. The clips then pan over to other scenes showing explicit content. We honestly suggest that fans under the age of 18 watch the show with parental supervision. This is truly an adult-rated series.
Coming back to the trailer, we see three characters pointing to a sex scene, and one of them talks about how they aim to sell this content to the watchers. Soon, the part of the teasers starts, which confirms all the cast members which we are about to see in the upcoming show. Abel is supposed to do the role of a self-help guru who is placed in the center of a cult.
The name of his character is not disclosed by the directors yet. The plot will focus on Jocelyn as she is trying to make a career for herself in the pop industry. She and Abel’s character will get into a relationship that will turn out to be unhealthy for both of them because of its complications. We will see the gruesome and dark truth of Hollywood with the show. Now, let us discuss the future of the series.
The Idol HBO Release Date
The Idol HBO release date is confirmed to be in 2022. We might have to wait a month or two before getting the new episodes. Given the fact that HBO has just released two short trailers about the same, a release might be near. It is because the platform does not start the hype for any of its drama unless and until they are about to launch in the near future.
