The Weeknd&rsquo;s Cinematic Era Begins
This marks a major shift in The Weeknd&rsquo;s career. Known for his concept-driven music, he&rsquo;s taking storytelling to the next level on the big screen. The film supports his latest and final album under the name &ldquo;The Weeknd,&rdquo; also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow. It&rsquo;s the closing chapter of a musical trilogy that began with After Hours and continued with Dawn FM.
At Coachella this year, fans were buzzing when The Weeknd showed up not to perform, but to promote. Covering his face with a hat and sunglasses, he was spotted holding hands with Jenna Ortega near the festival&rsquo;s iconic Ferris wheel, offering fans a real-life teaser of their on-screen chemistry.
A Love Story with a Twist
The recently released video clip for the song &ldquo;Drive&rdquo; teases a gripping romance between The Weeknd and Ortega&rsquo;s characters. But the ending? A thrilling twist, as Ortega speeds off behind the wheel, leaving fans hungry for what&rsquo;s next.

Jenna Ortega shared her thoughts on the role:
&ldquo;At first, I didn&rsquo;t think I was right for the role, but through talking with Trey and Abel (The Weeknd), and building trust between us, I felt like I was part of a team with a vision I wanted to be part of.&rdquo;
A New Chapter for Abel Tesfaye
On January 31, 2025, Hurry Up Tomorrow was released as the final album by The Weeknd, marking the end of an era and the beginning of another, as he now embraces his real name, Abel Tesfaye. After three years of rumors and build-up following Dawn FM, this sixth studio album delivers both closure and a bold new direction.
Whether you&rsquo;re a longtime fan or just curious about what happens when music meets mystery, Hurry Up Tomorrow is a must-watch moment.
