Whether or not you watched the actual HBO series, we all had our fun with the various memes around Jude Law’s The Young Pope.
Lenny Bellardo himself was left in dire straits by the finale, and it seems The New Pope may take his place, as HBO announces a successor series.
The network confirms that production of The New Pope will commence later this year; HBO again co-producing with European media group Sky, as directed by Young Pope helmer Paolo Sorrentino and co-written with Umberto Contarello.
Also starring in the series were Diane Keaton, James Cromwell and Silvio Orlando, none of whom are confirmed to return for The New Pope.
