“The Idol”, Sam Levinson’s series (“Euphoria”) is currently airing, but rumors announce that there will be no season 2. Explanations.
The Idol, the series co-created by Sam Levinson and The Weeknd, continues to make people talk. In an article published this Wednesday, June 15, the American tabloid Page Six claims that the program will not have a season 2.
According to two anonymous sources close to the production, the fiction was thought of as “a limited series” And “was not supposed to continue”. However, nothing indicates on the posters or the trailers that it is about a limited series.
A few hours later, the HBO channel denied this information on Twitter: “It has been reported, incorrectly, that a decision on a season 2 of The Idol has been determined. It’s not and we can’t wait to air the next episode this Sunday night..”
The future of The Idol remains, for the moment, uncertain. During the press conference organized at the Cannes Film Festival, the team of the series announced its great ambitions. “We hold the series of the summer”, said the creator Sam Levinson. Nevertheless, the ratings recorded on HBO are lower than expected.
The figures for the series remain more encouraging over time. In one week, The Idol attracted more than 3.6 million viewers. It’s more than Euphoria and The White Lotus.
The Idol is available on Prime Video, via the Warner Pass.
