Francis II is known to many worldwide as a pope, but secondly, as a reformer. His successor, Lenny Belardo, is in many ways his antithesis, being both vibrant, young, and incredibly conservative. This “Young Pope” fell prey to the international intrigue that comes with heading one of the world’s oldest and most powerful institutions. Now, after experiencing a bit of a breakdown at the end of season 1, The New Pope will pick up the saga of Pope Pius XIII, as he contends with the installation of John Paul III.
