” To do so, she partners up with an über sleazy producer played by Tesfaye, who “brainwashes” her as the two descend into a world of sex, drugs and pop music.production had "gone wildly, disgustingly off the rails,” after Levinson and Tesfaye reworked the script to have less of a feminine perspective—something Hollywood is famously in short supply of. The report included stories of graphically violent and sexual scenes, chaotic scheduling and budgeting issues. In response, Tesfaye shared a clip from the series on social media in which he character calls the magazine “irrelevant,” with the caption, “@rollingstone did we upset you?" Depp defended Levinson, telling ET, "Sam is, for so many reasons, the best director I have ever worked with. Never have I felt more supported or respected in a creative space, my input and opinions more valued."is also co-created with Tesfaye’s longtime creative producer Reza Fahim. The cast includes Troye Sivan, Rachel Sennott, Moses Sumney, Dan Levy, Hari Nef and many more familiar faces. Read on for everything we know about the series so far:On April 17th, a teaser dropped featuring a clip backed by Britney Spears’ booming “Gimme More,” in a clear reference to the pop star’s career trajectory and symbolism in pop culture. “When was the last truly fucking nasty, nasty bad pop girl?” Troye Sivan’s character asks. The answer to who will be next is clearly Depp’s Jocelyn, who is seduced by Tesfaye’s character into becoming the Trojan horse of pop to deliver whatever murky message he is trying to sell. As Jocelyn gears up for what appears to be a major comeback tour, she falls into typically pop star traps, like a sex tape leak and a debaucherous lifestyle of drugs and sex. “You got the best job in the world. You should be having way more fun,” Tesfaye tells Jocelyn against a backdrop of the pair partying and sexing it up in nightclubs, cars and the studio. Concerned friends say that Tesfaye’s character has “brainwashed” Jocelyn, who admits, “He’s really, like, unlocked something in me.” Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s character deadpans, “I ain’t seen no shit like this since the ‘90s.”dropped on May 30th and picked up right where the first left off. It begins with Tesfaye’s character Tedros saying to Jocelyn “You’re the American dream. Rags to riches. Trailers to mansions. You are Jocelyn, just be you.” Jocelyn is then seen in various settings—on stage, in boutiques, in the studio—as she navigates her return to pop stardom after a nervous breakdown derailed her last tour. She is being “guided” by Tedros, the cult leader-meets-guru, who to many of her confidants, seems to be brainwashing her. The trailer is packed with pulsing music, drugs, champagne, and a bit of humor here and there. It is, like much of the series, centered around the often questionable actions of Jocelyn and Tedros as they navigate the next stages of the pop star’s career post-hiatus. Midway through the trailer, Jocelyn says to Tedros “I think I fell in love with you,” hinting at the evolution of their complicated, and seemingly toxic, relationship. The teaser concludes with Tedros eerily saying, “You're not a human being, you're a star,” and with Destiny saying, “Never trust a dude with a rat tail.”
