We look forward to sharing more information soon.”
No word on who is leaving or stay, but Lily Rose-Depp (Johnny Depp’s daughter), Troye Sivan and Anne Heche were announced as series regulars. “The Idol” is set against the backdrop of the music industry,and centers on a self-help guru and leader of a modern-day cult, who develops a complicated relationship with a rising pop idol.
