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.

Yes please!!!! Bring back this show. Let there be a second season. Jude Law is amazing. The is the best show I have seen in along time.
Please please please bring on season 2, this was an amazing show, witty, visually extravagant and simply beautiful!
Yes!!! loved season one!!! This is a great show HBO!!!! Let there be a second season!! Jude Law is a GREAT Young Pope! All the characters are perfect!
Started out not sure but stuck with it. Now can’t wait for next season to begin. Jude Law is fantastic in this role.
There has to be a second season. Was waiting all week for next show. Judd Law’s wink at the beginning of the episode killed me, loved it. But the story is so interesting and writing is so well done. Maybe some Emmy’s in their future, I hope so.
PLEASE RENEW THE YOUNG POPE FOR A SECOND SEASON!!!!
This show should really continue to have season 2. I have been a Roman Catholic nun and this show has more spirituality than any sermon or religious class I have had. Its beautiful because it shows humanity and its connection to God. It also shows the religious as human beings rather then perfect angels.
OMG There must be a second season of “The Young Pope” !! This series is a spectacular work of art! Brilliant!! I am not alone in my opinion. Jude Law takes our breath away every moment he appears. The writing is positively spellbinding. I can envision so many story lines to come. So much more that this may be the one series that knock,” Game of Thrones & The Sopranos” off as the Gold Standard production on HBO. So much richer in content , surpasses every aspect of beauty & relevance, outstanding !, this is masterpiece of artistry. I can’t… Read more »
FYI just finished first season and can not say enough about the quality of this show. Just heard there will be a season 2 and I can’t wait. Should be on the Emmy list next year. Jude Law rocks as th Pope.
I was totally absorbed with “The Young Pope”; however, it lacked cohesion and development at times. Symbolic entries, such as the kangaroo and its death, should be made plainer/simpler through development to those not schooled in theatrical/literary criticism. Of course, I realize that this series was meant to satirize, to provoke, to possibly draw a parallel to our present governmental situation; but its critics can pounce on its ambiguity and interpret it as choppy, meaningless, heretical church mongering, which it definitely is not. Absolutely absorbing and addictive! The casting is splendid, and the photography makes many travelogues look like children’s… Read more »
I just love the show. It is so different and it just grabs you and you can’t let go!! I was never a Judea Law fan, but oh that has changed. He is so believable, I just live him. Please do another season. I is such a pleasure to watch a show that is not predictable. It is done with such good taste.
Thank you Mary
Loved, loved, loved this series! Please bring it back. A lot of my friends seem to have missed it, but will be catching it on rerun.
Loved, Loved, Loved this show! For some reason, a lot of my friends missed it, but are excited to catch it on rerun. Please bring back this amazing series!
I love the young pope!!!! I hope it goes on FOREVER! Best show I’ve ever watched on tv!!!!!
Definitely need to develop this show further. Just watched the entire first season this last week… This is an extremely provocative, thought provoking series that looks at the human condition in all its ugliness and beauty. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!
