Filming is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles with direction by Amy Seimetz.
Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, of HBO Programming shared: “When the multi-talented Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye, Reza Fahim and Sam Levinson brought us THE IDOL, it was clear their subversive, revelatory take on the cult of the music industry was unlike anything HBO had ever done before.”
