Lily-Rose Depp plays an aspiring pop singer who suffers a nervous breakdown in ‘The Idol’. Picture: SHOWMAXThe most talked about and controversial series of the year arrives on Showmax on June 5. Created bySam Levinson and pop superstar sensation Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, this story of sexual exploitation and mental breakdown is set in the high-pressure world of digital-era pop music fame.
Lily-Rose Depp stars as Jocelyn, an aspiring pop idol who suffers a nervous breakdown that threatens to end her career. She finds herself in a complicated and potentially dangerous relationship with cult leader Tedros, played by Tesfaye, that will either help her regain the title of “world’s sexiest pop star”, or destroy her. New episodes are added weekly on Mondays.
Juxtaposing these inner worlds with the dedication of the doctors and health workers responsible for translating what they find inside these bodies into strategies for helping to save them, the film paints a slowly revealing picture of the secret world that lies within us and the ways that the physical realities of human flesh connect us all.
Over seven days it follows a variety of characters who are either directly involved in the operation of the plant or affected by the disaster. The drama paints a devastating and high-tension picture of the most severe nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and its still far-reaching consequences for those involved and the world at large.
