TL;DR Summary

HBO has canceled the controversial series "The Idol" after one season. The decision comes after a lack of clarity about the show's potential for a second season. The series, created by Sam Levinson and The Weeknd, received mixed reviews and had middling ratings. Despite initially premiering with 913,000 viewers, it grew to 7 million viewers after the first week. The show's cancellation follows allegations of a toxic set and a 19% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
