Telly’s Take
Will HBO cancel or renew The New Pope for season two? My guess is that this series will come to a natural conclusion, just as its predecessor The Young Pope did. If HBO wants to continue the story somehow, it seems likely that the channel will give the continuation a new title. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Do you hope The New Pope TV show will be renewed for a second season?


I found the series very much on the slow boring side,until the Pope came out of his coma, J. Malkovich is a good actor,but if he spoke any more mono chromatic I would have fallen asleep-6 episodes of him or getting to him, OMG. The flipping dancing at beginning and end is just ridiculous-disco…really? It needs to step up the writing to continue. Seriously I turned on the program to watch Jude Law,so I was disappointed not to see him until so late in series.
we would very much like another season of the new pope
Yes please
