The Weeknd, Moses Sumney, Troye Sivan, and More Appear in New ‘The Idol’ Trailer

Last month, the first teaser trailer for The Idol, the upcoming HBO series co-created by the Weeknd’s Abel Tesfaye and Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson, was unveiled. Today, another teaser has arrived, following its debut at the Weeknd’s concert in Las Vegas last night (August 20). Abel Tesfaye and Lily Rose-Depp star in the series – which the new trailer reveals also features Moses Sumney – alongside  Troye Sivan, Suzanna Son, Jane Adams, Dan Levy, Da’vine Joy Randolph, Hank Azar, and Blackpink’s Jennie. Watch it below.

Earlier this year, it was announced that director Amy Seimetz was leaving the show as major creative changes were made behind the scenes. “‘The Idol’s creative team continues to build, refine, and evolve their vision for the show and they have aligned on a new creative direction,” HBO said in a statement in April. “The production will be adjusting its cast and crew accordingly to best serve this new approach to the series. We look forward to sharing more information soon.”

The Weeknd is currently touring in support of his latest album, Dawn FM, which arrived in January.
