Jude Law is pulling double duty at HBO this year, with two shows lined up on the channel and one already on air. This makes for Law’s third collaboration with HBO in the last few years, and he’s trading the Catholic Church for a mysterious island. After wrapping up “The Young Pope” and “The New Pope,” he is back for the six-part miniseries “The Third Day.” Law will be joined by Naomie Harris in what sounds destined to be a trippy ride. The show is split into two parts, summer and winter, and chronicles a man and woman’s arrival on an island at different points in time.
