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?
Hooked on the show. Hopefully more to come.
One of the better quality shows on cable via any provider. The cinematic quality is akin to watching 10 one hour movies. The visuals (sets and costumes) are stunning, the acting superb, and the music such an eclectic mix of content… and so well done. I’m not Catholic (not that that should make any difference), and I love this fictional albeit quirky look into the inner sanctum of a major world organization. To me it’s like Twin Peaks visits the Vatican. I’m hooked, and so hoping (praying?), that it comes back for at least one more season. My only disappointment…… Read more »
I’m not It the smartest tool in the tool shed,but damm this show has me hooked,even tho I don’t know what the hell half the words mean,and yeah I’d would not have a problem being your holiness mistress lol. I ve always had a relationship with god and when I see pious kneeling down talking and praying,I do the same but only in my car, I have many many questions about god and watching this program( I know it’s not real duh) makes me feel good.The cast is undeniably superb
The Young Pope was surprisingly enjoyable. A second season, 3rd and hopefully 4th ….. I cant get enough of this Series. Love it!
One of the BEST shows on HBO!
Wonderful, thought provoking drama dealing with the meaning of life, death, humor, evil, redemption. Superb acting. Would love Jude Law to return but it would be fascinating to see another actor replace him (like Dr. Who). So many issues can be discussed & analyzed. Sympathy for Ketchikan Alaska!! Why have they done to deserve this awful treatment? Smile
At first I thought it was weird. But as I watched I started to understand what Pope Pius XIII/Lenny was like. I couldn’t wait for the next episode. Jude Law was terrific in his role as Pope. PLEASE bring it back!
Absolutely LOVED this series! Very thought provoking and intriguing. I’m sad that season 1 is over!!! Jude Law was beyond fabulous. Perfectly written and cast, brilliant story lines, truly amazing sets and costumes – just beautiful! The soundtrack was perfect, too – very unexpected. I haven’t ever seen anything like it. I hope there will be a second season – I will certainly be watching!!!
Captivating, emotionally stirring, thought provoking … please carry on with Season Two! We must discover the ultimate fate of The Young Pope!
The Young Pope is a surprising and entertaining well-acted series. I learned after looking it up that there was such a pope. Season 2 please!
I absolutely LOVE THE YOUNG POPE.. I would love to see many more seasons… it was beautifully made.
Loved Jude Law and will watch again, sound track and cast awesome.
