Specifically, a follow-up series entitled The New Pope, “set in the world of the modern papacy”, according to Variety.
Paolo Sorrentino’s The Young Pope won’t be returning for a second season.
Of course, the question here is whether Law’s Berlado will be dead in the new series, with sources saying that a small reappearance by the actor isn’t out of the question, as some characters from The Young Pope are pitched to return.
What exactly that entails is yet to be seen, since a “different twist than would be expected” is in the works.
