Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler
Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler is the 2019 live-action TV series based on DC Comics characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.
It follows Bruce Wayne’s legendary butler, Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British SAS soldier who forms a security company and goes to work with Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge), Bruce’s billionaire father, in 1960’s London. The pair are drawn into conflict with Lord Harwood (Jason Flemyng) who runs a shadow organization called the Raven Union which aims to overthrow the U.K. government.
Bruno Heller (Gotham, The Mentalist, Rome) serves as executive producer/writer and Danny Cannon serves as executive producer/director (Gotham, CSI series).
The show originated on the cable/streaming service EPIX, but relocated the HBO Max for its third season.
When the series was launched, it was simply titled Pennyworth. With the debut of season three the show was promoted under the title Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler, presumably to make the Batman connection more obvious to casual streamers.
