Lily-Rose Depp is following in her famous father’s footsteps.
As the daughter of Johnny Depp and singer Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose is not in short supply when it comes to talent. The 23-year-old actress has previously starred alongside Timothée Chalamet, Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, and Gary Oldman, and is now set to take the lead in HBO Max’s new show The Idol.
The series is the brainchild of Sam Levinson who created Euphoria, as well as Abel Tesfaye — better known as The Weeknd. The “Blinding Lights” singer stars as a self-help guru and leader of a modern-day cult who begins dating a pop star played by Depp.
“The sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood” states the tagline in the trailer that presents like a debaucherous mix of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. Part of Depp and Tesfaye’s complicated relationship can be seen when he asks if she trusts him and she responds with, “Not really”.
Other members of the cast include Troye Sivan, Debby Ryan, Rachel Sennott, Steve Zissis, Hari Nef, and Juliebeth Gonzalez.
The Idol will feature 6 episodes, with a premiere date yet to be announced.
