Selome Hailu Goodbye, angel. “The Idol” — HBO’s controversy-ridden series from Sam Levinson and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye — has been canceled after one season. “’The Idol’ was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response,” said a spokesperson for HBO. “After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season.
We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work.” Season 1 concluded — after just five episodes, shortened from the originally planned six-episode run — on July 2.
The decision to cancel the series was made recently after a lack of clarity for both viewers and cast members about whether the series had the potential to continue.
In an interview with Variety, star Moses Sumney said that he signed on thinking it was a limited series, while star Da’Vine Joy Randolph told Variety she thought “everyone’s intention [was] to have a second season.” When a rumor swirled that the show had been canceled, HBO posted on X, then known as Twitter, that there was no status update yet.
