Alfred Pennyworth, the famous butler, guardian, and mentor to Bruce Wayne (aka Batman), is finally getting his own live-action origin story on Epix – titled Pennyworth. The 10-episode series will premiere this Summer on the streaming provider.
According to a synopsis from Epix, “Pennyworth is a 10-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.”
