The DC television series Pennyworth returns for its third season on HBO Max this October and, as IGN can exclusively reveal, the prequel show now boasts a new title: Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler.
The new title appears at the end of the show’s official Season 3 trailer, which you can watch exclusively here via the player above or the embed below.
The origin series from Warner Bros. Television is based on DC Comics characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. It follows former British SAS soldier Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon) who, in 1960s London, goes to work with billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) and his wife Martha (Emma Paetz) in the years before they become the parents of Bruce Wayne.
The official plot synopsis for Season Three, which will run ten episodes, reveals a new time period and how things have changed since viewers last saw Alfred and the Waynes:
“Season three of the psychological thriller 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.”
Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler stars Jack Bannon, Ben Aldridge, Emma Paetz, Paloma Faith, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson, Ramon Tikaram, Harriet Slater, and Simon Manyonda.
The show is executive produced by Bruno Heller, Matthew Patnick, Danny Cannon, and John Stephens.
The third season of Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler debuts this October on HBO Max as a Max Original.
