The Young Pope has been renewed for a follow-up series featuring a new Pope and storyline, but Jude Law isn’t shocked that the HBO drama wont return for a direct Season 2, despite suggesting there was room for continuation, per Variety:
It wasn’t that I wrapped it up assuming that I was done with it but I went in, we went in, to make a 10-hour film, and we did that. To say that there wasn’t room for more, I’d have been foolhardy. But it was clear from the get-go that we thought this is a great character and it’s a great world that he’s created here. But yeah, I didn’t go in thinking I’ll be doing this for the next 10 years.
The Young Pope sequel series, The New Pope, is slated to premiere in 2019. Stay tuned to find out whether it’s cancelled or re-elected…

No Jude Law? No Pope! Loved him. Would never watch another Pope series without him!!!
