Global Biochar Fertilizer Market: Key Trends, Market Share, Growth Drivers, and Forecast for 2024-2033Lily-Rose Depp is pulling back the curtain on her time on The Idol . After starring in the infamous series alongside The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) , who co-created it with Sam Levinson , the 25-year-old welcomed all of the chatter and is happy with her decision to be the lead of the explicit series. “I love it. Honestly, I love it,” Lily-Rose told Vanity Fair in an interview published Nov. 21. “You make something and you hope that people like it, and you hope that it resonates with people. But we always knew some people were not going to like it and that it was going to be too much for some people. But I stand by it. We made a choice and we went for it.” The choice was to star as Joselyn, a troubled pop star who falls under the control of a club promoter named Tedros (The Weeknd) who turns her life and career around. The short-lived series became the topic of conversation across social media weekly, as it was called out for it overly suggestive nature and storyline. Still, Lily-Rose saw firsthand that people loved it, outside of the internet. “I love it when people do come up to me and they’re like, ‘I love The Idol .’ And I’m like, ‘Thank you. You get it!’ It’s okay that it’s not for everyone,” Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis ’ daughter said. “That’s a beautiful thing about it. I’m very close with Sam and Ashley [Levinson]. They’re like family to me. I’m excited to get to work with them again one day.” She continued, “And I loved the experience of making it—that was a huge turning point for me. I learned so much about myself, and I got to progress so much in my own work. I learned how to dance, and sing, and do all these things that I had never done before. It was a real growing period for me. So I look back on it and I can only think fondly, and I’m really proud of what it is.” The drama surrounding The Idol began shortly after it was announced in 2021. After it was greenlit, the storyline and showrunners changed, the premiere was pushed back and a Rolling Stone report alleged that people who signed up for one project ended up working on something else—that was too controversial. However, Lily-Rose and the rest of the series’ stars knew what to expect and were ready for whatever people had to say. “A lot of it was hard to escape, because obviously, it was a big topic of conversation—but I was always prepared for it,” she said of the critics. “We knew what we were doing, intentionally touching on things that were supposed to be shocking, and crazy, and of its own world. So when people were like, ‘This is so crazy,’ we were like, ‘Ha ha ha. It is super crazy.’” Following The Idol ’s controversial five-episode run, HBO announced that the series wouldn’t return for a second season . A choice that Lily Rose wasn’t happy about. “I mean, I would’ve loved to have worked with Sam again. And I loved the character profoundly,” she told Vanity Fair . “She is the woman that I wanted to be when I was five. I was the little girl who was wearing my mom’s heels—she is the femme fatale fantasy of who I wanted to be when I was a kid. So I would’ve loved to explore that character further. But I know that we’ll do something again together one day, and I’m excited for that day. Everything happens for a reason.” After The Idol aired its final episode, the Tusk actress took to social media to share her sentiments about the series and show’s creators. "Thank you all for watching, listening, laughing & crying with us," she wrote on Instagram July 4. "Thank you to everyone-cast, crew, and everyone in between-who poured their hearts into making this show. Thank you Sam and Abel for the wildest, most beautiful journey of my life. & My Idol family... I love you guys till the end of time." Keep reading to see what TV shows will be returning in 2025...
