Here's Everything We Know So Far About Season 3 of 'Pennyworth,' Including Premiere Date and First Look Pics!
In the '80 and '90s, if your favorite television show was canceled that was likely the last time you'd see it. These days, with so many networks and streaming platforms, there's a good chance a canceled show is not truly gone, especially if it's a hit with the fans.
HBO Max has recently revived several canceled series from its own archives (like the Sex and the City reboot) and from other networks (like Cinemax's Warrior) and picked up a few that were on the verge of cancellation. Since DC Comics and HBO Max are both owned by Time Warner, it makes sense that many series based on DC Comics have found a new home on the streamer.
One of those series on the edge of cancellation was Pennyworth. Fans were elated when they found out the EPIX series Pennyworth would be returning for season 3 on HBO Max. Here's what we know so far about the premiere date, cast and where to watch the returning fav.
What is Pennyworth?
Pennyworth is an action-adventure series from DC characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. The series follows a young Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), who later becomes Bruce Wayne’s legendary butler. A former British SAS soldier, Alfie—as he’s known to his friends, forms a security company and goes to work with Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) in 1960s London in the first season.

Season 1 was set in 1960s London. In season 2, which takes place about a year after the events of the previous season, Alfred Pennyworth now owns a club as rising tensions in the UK sprout talk of a civil war.

Yes! Announced during DC Fandome, DC Comics' virtual event, Pennyworth will have at least one more season.

The character was first introduced in an issue of Batman in 1943 and returned to the format as a seven-issue miniseries, also called Pennyworth, that was released in August 2021. As a prequel series to the television show, the Pennyworth comic books were written by Scott Brian Wilson with art by Juan Gedeon.
According to DC Comics, the comic book series spans "the years between the hit TV show and today, Pennyworth tells the continuing adventures of Alfred Pennyworth as an MI6 counterintelligence agent -- this time in Cold War-era Soviet Russia. When Alfred and his partner receive intelligence that nuclear weapons are being manufactured near the Arctic Circle, they’re off to infiltrate the remote military base to learn more. But things don’t go exactly as planned, and the ramifications of this mission may be more far-reaching than anyone could have guessed, as our present-day butler gets dragged back into his past...
