Plot Synopsis

Created by Sam Levinson, Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye and Reza Fahim, THE IDOL is a six-episode drama series that follows Jocelyn's, whose last tour was derailed by a nervous breakdown. Now, she's determined to claim 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? Episodes include:

"Pop Tarts & Rat Tales" (Sunday, June 4, 2023): As Jocelyn preps for her triumphant return, a leaked photo sends her team into crisis mode -- just as a journalist arrives to do an in-depth profile on her. Later, Jocelyn has a chance encounter with nightclub owner Tedros.

"Double Fantasy" (Sunday, June 11, 2023): After clashing with her team over her album's first single, Jocelyn pushes herself to the limit on the set of her new music video, while Nikki sees potential in backup dancer Dyanne. Later, Tedros introduces Jocelyn and Leia to Izaak and Chloe from his inner circle.

"Daybreak" (Sunday, June 18, 2023): As Tedros inserts himself into Jocelyn's life by offering input on her wardrobe and collaborators, Leia brings her growing concerns to Chaim and Destiny. But when her team suddenly begins to soften toward Tedros, Jocelyn becomes even more emotionally tethered to him.

"Stars Belong to the World" (Sunday, June 25, 2023): While fighting for the upper hand in her relationship with Tedros, Jocelyn becomes determined to introduce her new persona to the world. Later, Jocelyn's team discusses her increasing involvement with Tedros and his inner circle.

"Jocelyn Forever" (Sunday, July 2, 2023): While planning a showcase for her upcoming tour, Jocelyn begins to take control of the relationships around her -- much to Tedros's dismay. Later, a meeting with Jocelyn disrupts Nikki's plans for Dyanne, as disturbing news about Jocelyn's ex emerges.
