Aw, man, Showtime’s Vatican drama is not moving forward after all, according to Deadline. Ridley Scott directed the pilot, and the show was going to star Matthew Goode as a papal secretary and Kyle Chandler as a Cardinal. Apparently the pilot was not up to snuff, though, and now we are simply left to wonder what a priestly Kyle Chandler would be like. This does free him up to be on Nashville, though, as the straight-shooting cowboy type who can finally give Rayna the love and support she needs.
