Pennyworth, marketed as Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler for its third season,[1] is an American television series that premiered on July 28, 2019, on Epix, based on DC Comics' Batman character of the same name. The series was developed for television and is executive produced by Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, and stars Jack Bannon as Alfred Pennyworth, a younger version of the iteration of the character previously portrayed by Sean Pertwee in Heller's and Cannon's Fox series Gotham (2014–2019), with the series serving as a prequel to both Gotham, and V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore, David Lloyd, and Tony Weare.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Ben Aldridge, Hainsley Lloyd Bennett, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson, Emma Paetz, Paloma Faith, Polly Walker, James Purefoy, and Jason Flemyng also star.

The second season began filming in January 2020, but the filming was paused in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] The second season premiered on December 13, 2020.[10] In October 2021, it was announced that the series would premiere on HBO Max for its third season, although it would still continue to air on Epix in addition.[11] The third season premiered on October 6, 2022, and concluded on November 24, 2022.[12] In February 2023, the series was canceled after three seasons.[13]
