Will there be a second season for The Young Pope TV show on HBO? The lavish political drama series is a co-production of HBO, Canal+, and Sky Atlantic so it’s unclear how much of an impact that HBO’s involvement has on the future of the series. We do know that a second season is already in development so a season two renewal may already be a done deal. Could The Young Pope be cancelled? Stay tuned.
A historical drama, The Young Pope TV series tells the controversial story of Pius XIII (Jude Law), born Lenny Belardo, and his early days as Pope. The youngest and first American pope in history, his ascension was orchestrated by the Vatican Secretary of State (Silvio Orlando). Lenny shuns him and looks to Don Tommaso (Marcello Romolo) to share details on the motives of those in his inner circle. Lenny’s mentor (James Cromwell) stews about being passed over and his friend since childhood, Sister Mary (Diane Keaton), is flown in to serve as his chief advisor. The rest of the HBO cast includes Javier Cámara, Scott Shepherd, Cécile de France, Ludivine Sagnier, and Toni Bertorelli.

What do you think? Do you like The Young Pope TV show on HBO? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
We love The Young Pope!!! You must bring Lenny back!
This show is awesome! Give it a chance! The music is extraordinary and Jude Law is divine!
I find myself deep in thought after each episode…
I think it is very well written and super addictive!
Hope there are more seasons to come!
An intelligently written, visually beautiful and well produced series for a change. We’ve become hooked.
First couple of episodes I was like “meh” but by the third episode I was hooked and couldn’t wait for the next and the next. I’m usually a period piece kind of viewer but this show drew me in. I haven’t seen much of Jude Laws work but he is so damn charismatic in this production. I find myself trying to figure him out, trying to label him but I can’t. His layers are complex and it’s fun thinking about his character after each show airs. #keeptheyoungpopeanotherseason!
Cancel it! Please! It’s awful, just pure nonsense, emptyness passed off as intellectuality and philosophy, so that you can not criticize it unless being addressed as a stupid. D.Keaton and J Law talents are just wasted here.
Excellent series I would love a 2nd season. Jude Law is playing a great role
Love it! Second season for sure!
I have no doubt that the show should be renewed. It’s been the best so far: plot, cast, music, camera work, etc. Shame on HBO if it stops the series!
The first episode, not sure, but when I reached 10 I cried it was over. Have to do a season 2. One of the best on TV today.
This is the best thing HBO has done in a very long time. Jude Law is outstanding as the Young Pope.
I love it. We want season 2
It’s a mini series
Ok, Bert…you are right; It IS A Mini Series. But DO YOU LIKE IT? I love it!
I’m a fallen Catholic & this show will not change that. But I think it is highly entertaining & I would love to know it will be continued on with a second season.
I’m just a few episodes in, providing thorough episodic reviews bit by bit, but I’m loving it so far. This is an intense character driven drama… One that tells a story without taking sides, through every means possible including groundbreaking cinematography and an extremely unpredictable nature. Every little detail is carefully shot and measured and truly makes a riveting drama.
I don’t think it will make it. It was not based on fact, and did not make any sense. I feel a screenwriter with a complete disconnect, of what people enjoy, wrote it. I, certainly, will be deleting this show from my DVR.
I’m Italian and I’ve never voted for Berlusconi.. However, after reading your comment I would bet everything I have you voted for Trump..
