The Weeknd is developing a series at HBO which he would star in as well as co-write.

News of the series, will follow a female pop singer who sparks a romance with an enigmatic LA club owner who doubles as a leader of a secret cult, was first reported by Variety on Tuesday.

Joseph Epstein will serve as showrunner while joining Mary Laws on the team of co-writers and -executive producers.
