The Popular singer got some good news on Wednesday when his dismally-reviewed Max series The Idol managed to score an Emmy Award nomination for outstanding choreography for scripted programming to choreographer Nina McNeely.
McNeely's sexually-charged music video routine to Lily-Rose Depp's song World Class Sinner/I'm a Freak (produced by The Weeknd) faces heavy competition against Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, Apple TV+'s Palm Royale, and Apple TV+'s Physical.
The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled to air September 15 on ABC and the ceremony is taped at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
The We Still Don't Trust You singer co-created the five-episode, 'sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood' with Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim, and he portrayed nightclub impresario and cult leader, Tedros.
On July 2, The Weeknd teased images from his mysterious AI experiment, which is likely connected to new music yet to be unveiled.
The former American Apparel employee has been hard at work 'reanimating the inner child' through a technology-assisted return to the 10-year-old Abel with a project created by Harmony Korine, the design collective EDGLRD, and advanced volumetric capture at Metastage.
'It wasn't a nightmare, but it was really weird and haunting,' The Weeknd explained to the magazine 032c last month.
'It was about me at my childhood home [and] I couldn't get in. I was locked out. It was my dream trying to tell me to tap into the past and who I was.'
The high school drop-out has also been hard at work writing, producing, and starring in an untitled film directed by Trey Edward Shults alongside Jenna Ortega, Barry Keoghan, and Charli D'Amelio.
