The Weeknd’s last release was EP My Dear Melancholy which dropped in March 2018. Although released without any previous announcement, the extended play became a big hit debuting at the top of US Billboard 200 and reaching top 10 in 16 other countries. It also received praise from the critics.
Back in May, it was rumored that The Weeknd is preparing a follow-up EPs to My Dear Melancholy titled We’re Alone Together and Abel, which would complete the trilogy. Still, the plans for the other two extended plays were obviously scratched since there was no news about them since then.
