Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, as Deadline points out.
The Idol will follow a female pop singer who becomes romantically involved with a Los Angeles club owner who also happens to be a cult leader. The Weeknd is slated to produce, co-write, and star in the drama.
In addition to the Weeknd and Levinson, the show will be co-created by Reza Fahim, who works with the Weeknd as a creative producer. Joseph Epstein will serve as co-writer and showrunner on the project, while Ashley Levinson, Kevin Turen, and Aaron L. Gilbert will co-executive produce alongside Sam Levinson.
Last Sunday, for the first time in well over a year, the Weeknd looked pretty normal on TV. After a rainy performance at the BRIT Awards, the singer, bearded and in a traditional black suit with an overcoat and sunglasses, walked calmly as cars zoomed past him in the parking lot of the Santa Anita racetrack. The âSave Your Tearsâ performance was broadcast during the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, where the Weeknd won 10 awards. Accepting one of those awards, for Top Hot 100 Artist, he smirked and said, âIâd like to thank God that I donât have to wear that red suit anymore.â
