While The Young Pope TV show will not been renewed for a second season on HBO, it isn’t exactly cancelled either. Instead, THR reports HBO has ordered The New Pope — a follow-up to The Young Pope — from creator and director Paolo Sorrentino.
The Young Pope told the story of Lenny Belardo’s (Jude Law) ascension as Pope Pius XIII. The HBO TV series cast also includes Diane Keaton, Silvio Orlando, Javier Cámara, Scott Shepherd, Cécile de France, Ludivine Sagnier, Toni Bertorelli, and James Cromwell. There is no word yet, on who will return for The New Pope TV series.
Back in October of 2016, we reported Sorrentino was already working on a second installment.
According to THR, The New Pope production is casting for the title role, and production is slated for late next year, in Italy.
What do you think? Did you watch The Young Pope? Will you return for The New Pope on HBO.
I’m anxious to see WHO will be in it!?!! If JUDE LAW DOESN’T RETURN or Diane Keaton, James Cromwell… I fear it WON’T BE NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE YOUNG POPE
I will keep an eye for it!!!
It was a fantastic series. I loved it and want it to continue!
I loved that show! I waited and waited only to find out there was no second season. Seems like I can guess who won’t be back by if I like it or not. If I like it it will be canceled, if I don’t like it it will more times then not be on again. The only reason I still have HBO is GOT and The Young Pope. So when GOT ends so will my HBO.
HIGH FIVE ON THAT!!!!!!
i’ m so sad about it! i loved the show…without Jude Law and the others it won’t be the same! 🙁
Great show. Amazing acting! I am disappointed that Jude Law may not return. I was soooo looking forward to a season 2 with the same characters! Please bring it back!
