The Borgias

This co-production is about the reign of Pope Alexander VI and the Borgia family. It's been described as a story about the original crime family.

Quote:
Producer James Flynn said the TV series will bear a closer resemblance to The Sopranos than The Tudors.
"This is the original crime family," Flynn said in his office at a massive studio on the outskirts of Budapest.
The TV series juxtaposes the violence, sexual escapades and scheming with intense family love and devotion between Alexander and his children.
"This is clearly The Godfather, in the sense that it's all about family," said Canadian actor Colm Feore, who plays Alexander's archrival, Cardinal Giuliano Della Rovere.
It stars Jeremy Irons, Colm Feore and Holiday Grainger. Neil Jordan is the man behind the project.

Quote:
While the script takes some liberties with history, those decisions were driven primarily by the need to build a flowing narrative, rather than to dramatize.
The history of the Borgia family, in fact, needs no embellishment.
Set to premiere in April on Bravo in Canada, Showtime in the US. Don't know yet about anywhere else.
