DC origin series Pennyworth returns for a second season, same day as the US on 14 December at 9pm exclusively on Warner TV (Astro Ch 712 HD / UnifiTV Ch 451).
In the following weeks, new episodes air every Monday at 9pm on Warner TV.
The show focuses on Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British SAS soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and starts to work for young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge), who has yet to become Bruce Wayne’s father.
Bruce will of course end up as the Caped Crusader himself, Batman, after Thomas’ and Martha’s untimely death (spoiler alert).
Pennyworth also stars Emma Paetz, Hainsley Lloyd Bennett, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson, Ian Puleston-Davies, Ramon Tikaram, Edward Hogg, Harriet Slater, Jessye Romeo, Paloma Faith and Jason Flemyng. James Purefoy also stars as a special guest.
A year after the explosive events of last season, England finds itself embroiled in a devastating civil war, with the powerful, neo-fascist Raven Union, led by Lord Harwood threatening to control the entire country.
North London remains one of the few resistance holdouts remaining. It is 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, “Bazza” and “Daveboy,” is now in search of a way out – before London, and his country, burns itself to the ground. And he has got his eye on America.
Based on DC characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, the 10-episode drama series from Warner Bros Television is executive produced by Bruno Heller (Gotham, The Mentalist, Rome), Danny Cannon (Gotham, CSI series) and Matthew Patnick (The Night Manager, Peaky Blinders). – The Vibes, December 9, 2020
