RELEASE THE AMY SEIMETZ CUT OF "THE IDOL"

The Issue

HBO was originally creating a show showing female empowerment and how women get taken advantage of in the industry. The director, Amy Seimetz, had written 80% of the six-episode series before getting kicked off of the team. This was because the co-creator, Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) felt it was showing too much of a "female perspective." 

 

 

We want to see this version of the show. Even if unfinished it would be a great resource to show the changes a product can go through and the people would love to see it.
