PENNYWORTH: Trailer & Poster

PRESS: From Warner Horizon Scripted Television, DC origin story Pennyworth is a ten-episode, one-hour drama series based on DC 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. Pennyworth – Coming July 28 only on EPIX.

Bruno Heller (Gotham, The Mentalist, Rome) serves as executive producer/writer and Danny Cannon serves as executive producer/director (Gotham, CSI series).


A refresher: The "Alfred Pennyworth" we/you might be familiar with, is the long-standing butler to Bruce Wayne's "Batman" (played by Michael Caine in the Chris Nolan movies, Jeremy Irons in Zack Snyder's version, and Sean Pertwee in FOX's Gotham on tv - for which showrunners Heller and Danny Cannon are responsible for THIS series), so this is essentially a "prequel" of Mr Pennyworth when he was a much, much younger man, in fact around twenty years prior to the time period of Gotham, taking place in a gritty London during the 1960s.
