Blackpink's Jennie in The Idol trailer. HBO released the new trailer for the series, The Idol, which stars The Weeknd, Lily Rose Depp, Troye Sivan, Tunde Adebimpe, and Blackpink’s Jennie. The show is produced by ‘Euphoria’ producer Sam Levinson and chronicles the story of a rising pop star in Hollywood who becomes entangled in a rather scandalous relationship with a club owner, who also happens to be leader of a secret cult. The teaser was shared during The Weeknd’s tour ‘After Hours’. The show seems eerily similar to Euphoria, with ensuing chaos and massive mansions and curious assortment of dance numbers.
While Blackpink’s agency has not confirmed Jennie’s casting as yet, Blinks spotted Jennie in the first teaser for the series.
Fans were excited and trended Jennie on Twitter. One wrote, “Jennie in the idol, still feels like a dream!” Another wrote, “From Kdrama to American drama series real quick. JENNIE IN THE IDOL!” A third added, “Jennie is coming to Hollywood!”
Blinks have been waiting with bated breath for Blackpink to make their much-anticipated comeback. The group, who released their last album in 2020, have been busy with other projects, solo albums and being ambassadors for fashion brands. According to a representative from YG Entertainment, they’re in the final stages of recording their upcoming album.
