Jude Law plays American-born Pope in new TV series.

The first official photo of Jude Law portraying a fictional American-born Pope has been released.

Jude’s character is the focal point of the new eight-part series called The Young Pope.

The new photo shows the British star as Pope Pius XIII, soaking up the sun in Rome as he reclines on a chair.

A brief synopsis describes the show as telling the “controversial story of the beginning of Pius XIII’s Pontificate, born Lenny Belardo”.
