The Idol won't return for a second season at HBO.
The Idol hailed from Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, The Weeknd and Reza Fahim. The cast included The Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp, Troye Sivan, Jennie, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dan Levy.
Depp starred as Jocelyn, an aspiring pop star who develops a relationship with Tedros (The Weekend), a nightclub owner with a sordid past.
The show made headlines due to its explicit content and allegations of a toxic work environment.
Variety confirmed the cancellation."The Idol was one of HBO's most provocative original programs, and we're pleased by the strong audience response," an HBO rep said in a statement. "After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not move forward with a second season. We're grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible works."
Season 1 concluded July 2 after five episodes, down from its originally planned six-episode run.
