How to watch Conclave – is it streaming?
Following the death of Pope Francis, film fans may be looking to watch (or rewatch) the 2024 film Conclave. The papal thriller, which is based on Robert Harris's book of the same name and directed by Edward Berger, follows the gathering of cardinals, ministers and other religious figures at the Vatican as they appoint a new leader after the death of a fictional pope, exploring the political machinations that go on behind the scenes. This election process, known as a conclave, is set to begin in real life on 5th May 2025 following the death of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday (21st April) at the age of 88 after complications from a stroke. Cardinals from across the globe will meet in Rome, where they will be cut off from the world until a new Pope is selected. Ahead of the Conclave's release last year, RadioTimes.com spoke to Berger and the cast about the film, with Fiennes explaining how the movie wasn't intended as a "cynical takedown of the Catholic church". He said: "It's not an attack on the Catholic Church, [even though] if you wanted to make that for them, you probably could. But I think it asks questions about faith." So, if you’re hoping to watch (or rewatch) the Conclave, read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the film.

The film is a political thriller based on the best-selling 2016 novel of the same name by Robert Harris, exploring events during a papal conclave to elect the new pope. The process is overseen by Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes), who soon finds himself caught up in debates between the liberal and conservative factions of the Catholic church – while various scandals come to light involving several of the runners and riders. An official synopsis reads: "Conclave follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting the new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. "Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence uncovers a trail of deep secrets left in the dead Pope’s wake, secrets which could shake the foundations of the Church." Conclave cast – who stars in the film? The film is a star-studded affair, with the cast led by Ralph Fiennes – who has been Oscar-nominated for his role as Cardinal Lawrence. He's not the only nominee among the cast, either, with Isabella Rossellini impressively scoring a nod for her supporting role as Sister Agnes, despite relatively little screen time.
