[The Fact - Reporter Kim Saet Byeol] The Idol once attracted attention for being Jennie's (Blackpink) Hollywood acting debut but will end with only season 1.
On August 29 (KST), many media outlets such as Deadline of the US and Variety quoted an HBO spokesman as saying that the production of The Idol season 2 has been cancelled.
HBO shared: "The Idol is one of HBO's most provocative original series. We are delighted by the overwhelming response from the audience." After much anxiety, HBO as creator and producer of the series has decided not to produce the second season of 'The Idol'. At the same time, we are also grateful for the amazing work that the producer and the actor and the writer have created."
Previously, the movie 'The Idol', which was first announced in June, is a work about the pop idol industry with a background in the music industry. Produced, written, and starred by acclaimed pop singer The Weeknd, Johnny Depp's daughter Lily Rose Deb has become a hot topic.
However, The Idol was criticized for being too provocative after the main actor was caught up in controversy over his acting ability right after his debut.
In Korea, the film received high expectations with Jennie's debut role. However, the male singer was also ignored by Blackpink fans because of his low perfection and constant controversies.
