Watch the first trailer for Sky, HBO and Canal+ co-production The Young Pope, starring Jude Law as the titular Pope.
Directed by Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, Youth), the fictional series follows the first American Pope in history Lenny Belardo, aka Pope Pius XIII.
It tells the origin story of Pope Pius XIII, born Lenny Belardo, a complex and conflicted character with great power who will face losing those closest to him and the fear of being abandoned, even by his God.
