Veteran actor John Malkovich is all set to star with Jude Law in the series "The New Pope".
The new show is a follow-up to Paolo Sorrentino's critically applauded "The Young Pope" limited series that featured Law as American pontiff Lenny Belardo, an outrageously conservative figurehead who seems determined on turning the world of the Vatican upside down.
"The New Pope" will be set in in the world of modern papacy and Law is expected to reprise his role.
According to Deadline, the details of Malkovich's character are under wraps as of now.
Sorrentino, Umberto Contarello and Stefano Bises are currently writing the teleplay for the series, which will be produced by Lorenzo Mieli and Mario Gianani.
The show is expected to start production in Italy in November this year.
