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.
