Despite the hype surrounding her acting debut, it appears that Blackpink’s Jennie has minimal screen time in the upcoming HBO series, The Idol.
Although the production challenges faced by HBO’s upcoming series, The Idol, director Sam Levinson managed to attract a star-studded cast for the show’s reshoots in May 2022.
Notably, he added Rachel Sennott, Dan Levy, Hank Azaria, Moses Sumney, and producer Mike Dean to the cast. However, the biggest addition was K-pop superstar Jennie.

Although teasers showed her in several scenes, sources from the production crew alleged that the K-pop star has minimal screen time and an inconsequential story arc.
Crew members claimed to Rolling Stone that Jennie barely has any air time and further said, “It was like three or four lines per episode for her. They didn’t let her talk that much. Her job was to sit there [and] look pretty, basically.”
This news may come as a disappointment to her fans, who were excited to see her on-screen in a supporting role, but it remains to be seen how her character will fit into the overall narrative of the show.
A fan noted, “So basically, Jennie gave The Idol ALL the hype and this is how they decided to treat her…?”
Another fan tweeted, “Idk if it’s true or not but yeah them taking jennie in the idol is a huge publicity stunt and jennie is obviously pretty. She can sit, look pretty and everyone will still talk about her.”
The Weeknd’s ‘The Idol’ scandal explained
The Weeknd’s The Idol has been making headlines, with production delays and rumors of creative struggles plaguing the upcoming HBO series.
Initially set to premiere in the fall of 2021, the show has been shrouded in secrecy, with no concrete release date yet announced.
Sources close to the production have revealed to Rolling Stone that the show was plagued by delays, reshoots, and rewrites, with director Amy Seimetz leaving the project with 80% of the series finished.
After Levinson took over as director, he reportedly scrapped Seimetz’s approach to the story, making it less about a troubled starlet fighting against a predatory industry figure and more of a degrading love story that some crew members found offensive.
According to five production sources, most of the crew from the first shoot did not return when production resumed in May 2022.
The crew was very worried about Levinson changing the show’s original message and turning it into a warped and jarring drama that lost its overall impact.
“It was a show about a woman who was finding herself sexually, turned into a show about a man who gets to abuse this woman and she loves it,” the sources claimed.
According to three sources with knowledge of the situation, there were several unsettling sexual and physically violent scenes between Depp and Tesfaye’s characters in Levinson’s scripts.
Seimetz’s version of The Idol was also intended to have graphic material, including sex scenes and nudity, but Levinson drastically increased the amount of sexual material as per sources.
The delay and alleged creative struggles have left fans and industry insiders wondering what the final version of The Idol will look like and when it will finally make it to air.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Star in Robert Eggers’ Next Film ‘Werwulf’
WERWULF is currently in pre-production, with more casting and plot details expected to be revealed soon.

After haunting audiences with Nosferatu, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is teaming up once again with director Robert Eggers. This time for a werewolf horror titled Werwulf. The film is already building buzz ahead of its Christmas Day 2026 release, and it may get even hotter with Nosferatu lead Lily-Rose Depp in talks to join the cast.
Eggers will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón, his collaborator on The Northman. With Focus Features backing the project, and Working Title producing, Werwulf looks to carry the eerie, mythic tone Eggers is known for — only now under the full moon.
Their last outing, Nosferatu, was a breakout hit, raking in $181 million worldwide and marking a massive return for stylized gothic horror. Taylor-Johnson played Friedrich Harding, a vampire skeptic, while Depp portrayed Ellen, the object of Count Orlok’s obsession.
With werewolves now in his sights, Eggers’ next nightmare seems poised to bite — and Taylor-Johnson is clearly ready to howl.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars Into Box Office Success

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.
This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.
Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.
With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Rolls Out Star‑Studded Cast

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially underway, and the cast lineup is as iconic as fans hoped. Meryl Streep returns as the icy editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, joined once again by Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci — reprising their roles nearly two decades after the 2006 original became a cultural classic.
But the sequel isn’t just about the old guard. It’s adding new faces to the high-fashion chaos, including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley. Acclaimed actor and director Kenneth Branagh will also appear as Miranda’s husband — a character that’s expected to shake up the dynamics at Runway Magazine.
Plot details are still under wraps, but the film is scheduled to release on May 1, 2026. It’s expected to explore the evolving world of fashion media while diving deeper into Miranda’s personal life and Andy Sachs’ next chapter. Notably missing is Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend Nate in the original. Sources say his character won’t return for the sequel.
With a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy, The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver sharp dialogue, high fashion, and the kind of dramatic flair only Miranda Priestly can serve.
