Lily-Rose Depp Proud of The Idol Despite Controversy

Lily-Rose Depp shared her thoughts on The Idol, a year after its controversial cancellation, expressing continued affection for the series despite widespread criticism. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the 25-year-old actress reiterated her love for the HBO show, which was axed in August 2023 after just one season. "I love it. Honestly, I love it," she expressed, explaining that creating something inevitably comes with hopes of resonating with audiences, acknowledging that not everyone would appreciate the show's boldness. This is prepared by SSP.

Reflecting on her experience during filming, Depp noted the significant personal and professional growth she underwent. "Making it was a huge turning point for me," she remarked, highlighting the new skills she acquired, such as dancing and singing, and the insights gained into herself and her work. The series offered her a chance to embody the "femme fatale fantasy" she envisioned as a child and allowed her to engage deeply with her character, Jocelyn.

Regarding the backlash that followed the show's explicit content and controversial storylines, she stated that it was difficult to avoid but remained unfazed. Emphasizing her intentional choice to tackle provocative subjects, Depp noted, "We knew what we were doing." She explained that the criticism did not affect her personally as she is detached from online discourse and focused on giving her best to each project.

Despite the series' reception, Depp expressed her wish to have continued with another season to further explore her character, maintaining that each element of the series was crafted with purpose. She is eager to collaborate again with the show's co-creator, Sam Levinson, who she considers like family, believing everything happens for a reason and looks forward to future projects together. The Idol remains available for streaming in its entirety on Max.
