The TV miniseries was initially to air in early April 2005 in the Vatican, but it was delayed due to the Pope's death.

It was broadcast for the first time by the Italian television station Canale 5 on the first day of the 2005 papal election.

Although it was originally broadcast on television, it was also released in theaters, which allowed the film to be shown in Poland.

The incredible success of the movie prompted the creation of a sequel, Karol: The Pope, The Man (2006), which portrayed Karol's life as Pope from his papal inauguration to his death.
