It looks like we’ll be waiting a little while longer for HBO’s new drama from The Weeknd (a.k.a Abel Tesfaye), Reza Fahim, and Euphoria’s Sam Levinson. The forthcoming series called The Idol is now undergoing reshoots and casting switch-ups in order to pursue a “new creative direction.”
“The Idol’s creative team continues to build, refine, and evolve their vision for the show and they have aligned on a new creative direction,” HBO says in a statement to Variety. “The production will be adjusting its cast and crew accordingly to best serve this new approach to the series. We look forward to sharing more information soon.”
