Paolo Sorrentino returns with The New Pope, his second original series set in the world of the modern papacy. Written by Sorrenttino with Umberto Contarello and Stefano Bises, the nine-episode original series features Jude Law and John Malkovich. Sharon Stone and Marilyn Manson guest star. The New Pope will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1, which means it’s likely that HBO will premiere the series Stateside in early 2020
