Looking back, what behind-the-scenes moments stand out? I always try to keep in mind: As long as my intention is good, and I’m telling a story and revealing truths, if that causes one person to change for the better, it is worth it. But ultimately, you’re never going to please everybody. Secondly, it’s hard to judge something off of two episodes. I want to make people feel good and seen and heard. Very early on in my career, I chose to never engage in that. Anything you want to say about those discussions? There’s been some controversy surrounding The Idol. I’m excited for fans to see the power of a woman, and what it means to go after what you want, by any means necessary.
On that note, is there anything you can tease about the rest of the season? I wanted to show a bit of that is still in her. As the show goes on, she was involved in this industry more personally. I wanted her to be very done, in a sense of hair done, nails done, makeup beat. I wanted this idea of a uniform-slash-armor, and I liked how polished she was.

What are the boundaries you set?”Īlthough Randolph hadn’t seen Levinson’s work on Euphoriabefore joining The Idol, she knew it was a phenomenon (“How could you not?”) and watched one of its special bridge episodes before meeting the TV creator over the phone. “I got insight into knowing what is like and what it all entails. “We just chatted the entire time,” Randolph tells Bustle via Zoom from Cannes. Randolph ran into Blige’s manager at the airport. Randolph, who stars on Only Murders in the Buildingand received a Tony nod for her work on Ghost: The Musical, got insight into the role from the woman who does it for music legend Mary J. So far, Destiny’s managerial approach is a carefully considered balance of paternal and professional. By Episode 2 of the show (co-created by The Weeknd, Reza Fahim, and Euphoria’sSam Levinson), only one person has the ability to really get through to Jocelyn: one of her managers, Destiny, played by Da’Vine Joy Randolph. While the central drama on HBO’s The Idol focuses on the disturbing relationship between pop star Jocelyn and her romantic interest Tedros ( Lily-Rose Depp and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye), the people in their orbit are often just as compelling to watch, from her bestie-slash-personal assistant to the Vanity Fair journalist profiling her.
