‘Pennyworth’ Will Move to HBO Max For Season 3

The Batman prequel series Pennyworth has been renewed for a third season by HBO Max. The news was announced during DC FanDome, the free virtual fan event that took place last weekend. Starring Jack Bannon, the crime thriller drama follows Alfred Pennyworth — the famous butler of Batman — during his previous time as security for billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge).

Originally debuting on Epix in 2019, Pennyworth takes viewers back to the beginning of Batman’s origin story, before he was even born. According to Bannon and Aldridge, the third installment will dive even deeper into the lives of the show’s characters, including the titular Alfred Pennyworth, Martha Kane, Bet Sykes, and more. While the first two seasons are set against the backdrop of the 1960s, it was also revealed that the third season will jump ahead in time by five years.
