Fans Are Excited as The Weeknd’s ‘The Idol’ Surpasses HBO’s Emmy Winning Show ‘The White Lotus’ on the Popularity Charts

After setting up a successful music career, The Weeknd is set to enter the world of acting. There are a few artists who can be skilled at multiple talents, and we will see if he can be one of them. His newest and upcoming show is Netflix’s The Idol which revolves around music, but without him being the musician. While the release is still some time away, its teaser is already making needed sounds.

PopCrave took to Twitter to show how the flick is already at Number 5 on HBO’s trending list. This unreleased show surprisingly even beats the much acclaimed The White Lotus. Ranking just behind Pedro Pascal’s The Last of Us and Game of Thrones. The commendable point is the series went up so high even before its release. This has certainly garnered some attention from fans.

The trailer dropped on YouTube just a day ago, giving an insight into the plot. It stars Lily Rose-Depp in the lead along with The Weeknd, Suzanna Son, Troye Sivan, etc. It entails the story of an upcoming singer who is mesmerized by a so-called modern cult style guru and their entangled relationship.

Considering that it still revolves around music, it relates to the ‘Starboy’ singer while showcasing him in a different role. Fans on Twitter are already cheering over the success, and here is what they have to say.

Twitterati reacts to The Weekend-led show climbing the charts

Twitterati is already celebrating The Weekend’s upcoming show The Idol. The fact that it is topping charts before its release acts as a green flag for the show makers.

Fans pointed out in the comments how it was also a result of Britney Spears’ magic. The teaser opened with the singer’s ‘Gimme More’ song. While the series is unique on its own, it certainly shares a resemblance with the ‘Toxic’ singer. She was considered one of the sexiest pop stars during her peak, resembling the series’ main character.

Others were happy to see the show’s success even before its release.

Fans of The Weeknd are sure about him taking it to the top with his performance.

The Idol may help add subscribers to HBO as well, if some fan comments are to be believed. If successful, it would add to the streaming service’s hits like Game of Thrones, The White Lotus, or Euphoria.
