Epix Renews Pennyworth For A Second Season
by Erik Amaya
Alfred (Jack Bannon), Thomas (Ben Aldridge) and Martha (Emma Paetz) will be back for another season of Pennyworth.
According to TVLine, Epix has renewed the offbeat, but highly watchable Batman prequel series focusing on the life of eventual Bruce Wayne caretaker Alfred Pennyworth and his early associations with Thomas Wayne and Martha Kane. The series, set in a reality where the English Civil War was delayed to the 20th Century, also features some secret societies, palace intrigues, and delightful sociopath Bet Sykes (Paloma Faith).
In a statement, Epix president Michael Wright said, “[Pennyworth] was the highest-performing original series ever to premiere on Epix, more than doubling the viewership of the shows that came before it. Bruno Heller, Danny Cannon and WBTV have delivered a brilliant, must watch series. We can’t wait to work with this phenomenal cast and creative team on another exciting season.”
Production is set to begin in January 2020 with the second season scheduled to debut later in the year.
