Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent Lily-Rose Depp takes on her biggest role to date, playing pop star Jocelyn, in HBO’s “The Idol,” which premiered on Sunday night.
Depp — who knows a thing or two about stardom, having grown up in the Hollywood limelight herself — says she was interested in “The Idol” because it delves into the crazy and chaotic world of the music industry. “I was really intrigued by this project as soon as I heard about it.

Speaking about her character, she adds, “Jocelyn is a pop star who is constantly surrounding by people who she’s not sure if she can trust.” Talking during a post-show breakdown that HBO aired after the first episode on Sunday, Depp praised her co-star, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, who is co-creator and executive producer of the show. “I love Abel so much,” Depp says. “He was able to melt into this role in a way that is really difficult for anybody to do.” In “The Idol,” The Weeknd plays Tedros, Jocelyn’s love interest who is a mysterious and creepy leader of a modern-day cult.
