            HBO has always been regarded as being one of the best television networks ever for its prestige nature of programming. Their newest miniseries though, The Young Pope might be their best in years by the trailers thus far. The final trailer was revealed today and was quite possibly the best one I’ve seen all year for a television series.

            The Young Pope follows a rogue pope with his own agenda and sense of right and wrong. The HBO series leads with a modern, fictional pope, Pope Pius XIII, who is played by Jude Law. Along with that, the series was created by one of the best filmmakers of today, Paolo Sorrentino (Youth, The Great Beauty). The miniseries will be 10 episodes, all directed by Sorrentino and it looks to be a tremendous new series for the network.

            Check out the new trailer for The Young Pope below! In addition to Law, Diane Keaton, James Cromwell and Silvio Orlando star in the series that premiers on HBO on January 15^th at 9 PM EST.
