The New Pope is a 2020 drama television series created and directed by Paolo Sorrentino for Sky Atlantic, HBO, and Canal+, serving as a nine-episode sequel to the 2016 miniseries The Young Pope. The storyline picks up with Pope Pius XIII (Jude Law) lying in a coma, prompting the Vatican to elect a sophisticated and fragile English aristocrat, Sir John Brannox (John Malkovich), as Pope John Paul III to succeed him. Co-starring Silvio Orlando, Cécile de France, and Ludivine Sagnier alongside high-profile guest appearances from Marilyn Manson and Sharon Stone, the series explores themes of faith, celebrity, and fanaticism as the two popes eventually clash over the direction of the Catholic Church.
