The Idol Season 2 - Will It Ever Happen?

In "The Idol," there's a clear story arc with a beginning, middle, and a somewhat conclusive end. Jocelyn experiences a crisis of confidence while dealing with the pressure of being productive after her abusive mother's death. In her quest for self-discovery, she seemingly finds herself immersed in another abusive relationship, but ultimately, she overcomes it and takes control of her life. Tesfaye described this arc in an interview with GQ as a five-hour film.

Regardless of whether the crew had planned a Season 2 or not, they definitely ensured that the first season could stand on its own from a narrative standpoint. That being said, the ending raises more questions than it answers when Jocelyn announces Tedros as her new boyfriend. But part of the fun of shows like "Breaking Bad" is how frequently they write themselves into impossible corners.

"The Idol's" bait-and-switch of presenting Tedros as a Charles Manson-like figure, only to reveal that his influence doesn't remotely compare to that of a contemporary pop star, is interesting. Shows like "Swarm" have previously explored the lengths to which fans will go to "protect" the musicians they idolize. If "The Idol" Season 2 ever does happen, it could continue to explore these ideas. However, the odds of that happening at this point seem extremely low.
