Viewers are sure to be in for an exciting experience as HBO released the full trailer of The Idol. The series – premiering on Sunday June 4 – follows the story of self-help guru and leader of a modern-day cult, Tedros, and his complicated relationship with rising pop idol Jocelyn. Promising to be ‘the sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood,’ the first promo teased: ‘That’s sex, that’s what we’re selling.’
The latest trailer proves just that! The new teaser opens with Jocelyn taking part in a risqué photoshoot, while the character played by singer Troye Sivan asks: ‘When was the last truly-f***ing-nasty, nasty, bad pop-girl?’ Jocelyn is then taken to a club, where she meets Tedros for the first time. The two dance together, before the trailer shows their relationship developing.

The Idol's official synopsis reads: ‘After a nervous breakdown derailed Jocelyn’s last tour, she’s determined to reclaim her rightful status as the greatest and sexiest pop star in America. Her passions are reignited by Tedros, a nightclub impresario with a sordid past. Will her romantic awakening take her to glorious new heights or the deepest and darkest depths of her soul?’
Despite reports of the project being in ‘turmoil’, director Levinson successfully managed to rewrite and reshoot the $54-75 million project to bring it to life.

Publication Rolling Stones reported last month that the project was in ‘turmoil’, after multiple script changes, the exit of director Amy Seimetz after most of the series was already finished, and then Levinson taking over and revising the ‘nearly-finished’ $54-75 million project to rewrite and reshoot the entire thing. However, the trailer looks to showcase a positive change and viewers can look forward to an entertaining series.
