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?
Renewed please.
So incredibly ridiculous and one of the great yawns of all time. Gives new
meaning to the word ‘soporific’..Jude Law ‘ chews the scenery, as they say.
Despite Law’s herculean effort to give this trash life, one can only hope there’s no life after death, and HBO ‘sticks a fork in it’..
This is a wonderful show. Please keep it on the air. Love it.
The show is outstanding. One of the most original and thought provoking things in any medium. Cast is fantastic. Jude Law,I honestly didn’t think he had it in him. Role of a lifetime. Keep it coming.
Great! Excellent show! Keep it going!
Great show .. well written .. being Catholic I’m hooked on it
The Young Pope is a visual feast besides being an interesting story! It’s just what I needed as a lapsed catholic! Sorrentino is a genius and Law is perfection. We hope that it’s not cancelled!
People on the comments are forgetting that HBO, since its a worldwide subscription channel, doesn’t just look at USA numbers, the show is a hit in Italy just their numbers were enough to order a second season. This are just the extras.
Also, is a good dam show, if you held trough the awkward first episodes till you can begin to glimpse the grand plan.
I like it, I think it’s refeshing. I should really like to see a season two.
I must admit,I’m hooked
The best show on television. It is beautifully filmed and well acted. I’m hoping for many seasons.
The ratings are tanking — it’s lost nearly 60% of its viewers from the premiere, and 70% of the 18-49 demo. Looks like it’s doing worse than “Vinyl,” the last big-budget flop that HBO cancelled, despite the star power of its creators, the extravagant production value and heavy promotion and marketing. If you go by recent history, this show is doomed.
I hope it’s not cancelled. I really look forward to watching it!
Gives no meaning to the word ‘soporific’..One of the great yawns of all time.
Idiotic actually..HBO needs to stick a fork in it.
Please, a second season! You know this show is a masterpiece. It is a very creative and fresh. Dont throw it. I know the director wrote a new script, it will be a new amazing season. You know Paolo Sorrentino is a genius.
Jude Law is spectacular and so pleasant to look at. Absolutely love this show.
Wasn’t feeling it the first couple of episodes, but by the 3rd I was hooked!! Yes, we need a second season!!
