Acclaimed Vatican thriller Conclave is officially coming to Peacock next Friday, December 13, the NBCUniversal streaming platform announced today.
Based on the bestselling novel by Robert Harris (Fatherland, Munich) and directed by Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front), Conclave shines a spotlight on the titular top-secret election process that chooses a new pope.

“The mechanism behind the election of a pope is among the most closely guarded secrets in the world,” Berger explains in the official production notes. “I was super curious to peek behind those locked doors and find out the details. We can’t know everything, but there are quite a few facts we were able to establish through our research. We feel we got as close to the truth as anyone ever has.”
Stanley Tucci (Cardinal Bellini), John Lithgow (Cardinal Tremblay), Sergio Castellitto (Cardinal Tedesco), Isabella Rossellini (Sister Agnes), and Lucian Msamati (Cardinal Adeyemi) co-star.
