HBO Max has confirmed it’s targeting an October 2022 premiere for Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler season three. The announcement arrived along with a 45-second teaser trailer for the DC Comics-inspired series starring Jack Bannon in the title role.
The first two seasons of Pennyworth aired on EPIX. In October 2021, HBO Max announced during DC FanDome that the third season had moved to their streaming service. Seasons one and two are now available on HBO Max.
Season three stars include Ben Aldridge as Thomas Wayne, Emma Paetz, Paloma Faith, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson, Ramon Tikaram, Harriet Slater, and Simon Manyonda. The Warner Bros. Television production is executive produced by Bruno Heller, Matthew Patnick, Danny Cannon, and John Stephens.
The third season will consist of 10 episodes.
HBO Max released the following updated description of the new season:
“The DC origin series Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler follows Alfred Pennyworth (Bannon), a former British SAS soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Aldridge) and his wife Martha (Paetz), before they become Bruce Wayne’s parents. 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.”
