Pennyworth, the action drama following the adventures of Batman's butler in his younger years as an ex-soldier turned security expert, might be moving from Epix to HBO Max.
Warner Bros. TV -- which produced the Batman-inspired series -- is currently negotiating a deal that would allow Pennyworth's first and second seasons to stream on HBO Max, as reported by Deadline. In addition, the deal would grant Epix rerun access for Season 3, if a future season of the show is greenlit. At this time, a Season 3 for Pennyworth is unconfirmed.
Pennyworth premiered on Epix in 2019 before the May 2020 launch of HBO Max, which has since become the home for several existing and upcoming shows based on DC properties. Some, like DC's Titans and the adult-oriented animated series Harley Quinn, migrated to HBO Max from the DC Universe streaming service.
HBO Max's upcoming DC Extended Universe projects include a Green Lantern series, a Peacemaker spinoff series helmed by The Suicide Squad's James Gunn and a spinoff series inspired by the upcoming film The Batman that focuses on Gotham City's Police Department.
In Pennyworth, Jack Bannon stars as Alfred Pennyworth, an ex-soldier for the British Army's SAS corps and owner of a security company in an alternative universe. While living in London, his security ventures bring him into contact with American doctor Thomas Wayne, aka the future father of Batman.
Developed by former Gotham collaborators Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, Pennyworth stars Jack Bannon as Alfred Pennyworth, Ben Aldridge as Thomas Wayne, Jason Flemyng as Lord Harwood, Paloma Faith as Bet Sykes, Ryan Fletcher as Dave Boy, Hainsley Lloyd Bennett as Bazza, Jessica Ellerby as the Queen and Simon Manyonda as Lucius Fox.
