"The Borgias" returns to the Showtime lineup on Sunday, April 8, 2012, according to a January 12, 2012, press release from Showtime. The Borgias stars Jeremy Irons in his Golden Globe nominated role.

Season two of THE BORGIAS finds Rodrigo Borgia/ Pope Alexander (Jeremy Irons) seeking to consolidate his power and enlisting his family to take an oath of revenge on the great noble houses that dared to stand against him, causing his Papacy to face political turmoil once again.

But Alexander’s real problems lie with his children, all of whom are growing up and defying his authority. Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) forges an unlikely alliance between Vanozza and Giulia, and together they plot to battle Vatican corruption. The sibling rivalry between Cesare Borgia (Francois Arnaud) and Juan Borgia (David Oakes) will soon turn to hatred as their father’s unwavering favoritism toward Juan triggers Cesare to engage his dark side.
