‘The Idol’ by Sam Levinson, starring Lily-Rose Depp as the main character Jocelyn, follows her aspiring pop idol and its complex relationship with Tedros (The Weeknd) – a self-help Guru.
The first of the four-episodic series, which aired on Sunday and was up for competition with Levinson’s last directorial venture ‘Euphoria’, failed to make up to the record set by the latter.
As per the numbers quoted by a foreign-based publication, a total of 913,000 viewers tuned in on the weekend to watch the debut episode of the series, which is at least 17% less than the 1.1 million viewers who watched the premiere of Zendaya starrer.

The fresh episodes of the series will air every Sunday for the month of June.
