Fans of the English-language drama series from acclaimed Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino are in luck as a sequel to The Young Pope is officially on the way in the form of an all-new production, titled The New Pope.
According to The Wrap, HBO has officially given the greenlight to The New Pope, a sequel limited series to The Young Pope set to be helmed by returning creator, writer, and director Sorrentino.
Following the premiere series that was as visually stunning as it was irreverent, The New Pope has quite the large pair of shoes to fill if it hopes to continue in the same vein as The Young Pope.
The sequel production will be co-produced once more by HBO and Sky Atlantic, with a tentative release set for sometime in 2018.
