Move over Rocky, there’s a new Italian Stallion in town!
Or relatively new, at least.
The Borgias is only four episodes into its second season and it’s already been picked up for another season!
The Showtime series features Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, “the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the infamous Italian Renaissance family who builds an empire by bribing, buying and muscling his way into the papacy.”├é┬á
This show has got some serious historical sexiness going for it.
The show has been Showtime’s most watched series of its current lineup. It its most recent outing The Borgias drew 604,000 viewers, numbers that beat Nurse Jackie (429,00 viewers) and The Big C (429,00 viewers.)
The Borgias is definitely anything but bourgeois.
Producers for series have previously echoed sentiments that they’d like the show to eventually wrap in four seasons, and this announcement brings that goal closer to becoming a reality.
Don’t you love when people set goals that they actually can reach.
Doesn’t happen enough these days.
Congrats to everyone involved with the show!
