HBO has now released the first look at the long awaited show, showing the lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous under the California sun, with money, mansions, drugs, champagne and a lot of bizarre situations about to develop on the small screen.

The new trailer also referred to “the sick and twisted minds” of Levinson and The Weeknd, hinting at what’s to come and describing “the sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood.”

Lily Rose’s character can be seen working at the studio, practicing choreography with back up dancers, and later having a conversation with The Weeknd’s character. “Why don’t you just be yourself,” he asks. “Because there’s nothing about me that’s relatable,” she replies.

The new fascinating story follows a rising pop star and a self-help guru and cult-leader, having a complex relationship and navigating the journey to fame and fortune.
