Alfred (Jack Bannon) is tasked on a mission to the states even as Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) escalates conflict in London in this promo for the return of season two of Pennyworth. Watch March 7th on EPIX.
Pennyworth Season two picks up a year after the explosive events of season one. England finds itself embroiled in a devastating civil war, with the powerful, neo-fascist Raven Union, led by Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) threatening to control the entire country. North London remains one of the few resistance holdouts remaining. It's here in the West End Neutral Zone, that we find Alfred Pennyworth. After years in the British Army, his training with the SAS has taught him to be a cynical optimist -- expecting the worst, but knowing that he can handle it. Now running The Delaney, a black-market Soho club that welcomes everyone, regardless of their politics, Alfred, with his SAS mates, Deon "Bazza" Bashford (Hainsley Lloyd Bennett) and Wallace "Daveboy" MacDougal (Ryan Fletcher), is now in search of a way out -- before London, and his country, burns itself to the ground. And he's got his eye on America.
