HBO Max Announces That PENNYWORTH Is Coming to Their Service for Season 3
HBO Max made the announcement at DC FanDome over the weekend that the series Pennyworth is coming to the streamer for its third season. The show debuted on Epix in 2019, and was set to start filming its second season in 2020, but was shut down due to the pandemic. Once the cast and crew was cleared to get back to set, they pumped out the second season, which premiered in late 2020.
Here’s the show’s synopsis so far:
The DC origin series PENNYWORTH follows Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British SAS soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge), before he becomes Bruce Wayne’s father. Season three of the psychological thriller also stars Emma Paetz, Paloma Faith, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson, Ramon Tikaram, Harriet Slater and Simon Manyonda. Season three begins after a five-year time jump: the civil war is over, and a cultural revolution has changed the world for better or worse – ushering in a new age of Super Heroes and Supervillains.
The show will now be an HBO Max original and will debut in 2022. The first two seasons will also be available on the platform in early 2022. Are you excited for Pennyworth to relocate to HBO Max?
