Yes. Yes, it will.
Well… maybe. Or it may not.
But it might.
Anyway, the press release:
Season Three Of PENNYWORTH: THE ORIGIN OF BATMAN’S BUTLER Debuts This October…
Season three of the hit DC series, PENNYWORTH: THE ORIGIN OF BATMAN’S BUTLER, from Warner Bros. Television, debuts this October on HBO Max as a Max Original.
Logline: The DC origin series PENNYWORTH: THE ORIGIN OF BATMAN’S BUTLER follows Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British SAS soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) and his wife Martha (Emma 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.

The first two seasons of PENNYWORTH are currently available on HBO Max.

The tie-in comic is fun too…
Hoorah.
And hooray.

I guess it’s the godd*mn Batman affect.
It of course doesn’t work all of the time. Just… kind of a lot.
Looking at comments on the video there were many that didn’t even know it existed so maybe .
Same
Still have to get to reading the comic. Probably bumping that up on my list to read before October.
Yeah, I guess the official title of the series is now:
Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler
That’s the title on My List on… my list on HBO Max.

Oh snap, I didn’t realize Pennyworth was about ALFRED Pennyworth!!
Legit, if this season shows who taught him how to make little finger sandwiches, I’m all in
the true reason this show was made.
Alfred and Martha should’ve been together!!!
I’m still getting caught up on this show and hope to be ready for Season 3 when it drops on October 6th. Great show, very unexpected and unique take on familiar DC characters.
Watching this is part of my Sunday Night DC TV marathon and I love the performances. Alfred is a true badass.
Wonder who from the comics will show up
The only person Alfred should be kissing is Martha!!!
Season 1 was one of the things that Starz offered to everyone when the lockdown happened and all the large companies made some of their content free to everyone (well, everyone with decent internet access!). I was arranging virtual watch parties then and tried hard to get folks interested in a S1 Pennyworth and no one bit (even though I got three different groups to sit through Shazam! and even sit through the Lego Flash direct to DVD movie). I finally sat through it myself and personally found it too violent for my personal taste and didn’t particularly enjoyed some of the more out there story ideas they aimed for, in particular their Brit version of D-List Psycho Clown Murdereress. Although I do really enjoy her signing. I see from the trailer that she, somehow, is still alive and still in the series.
Sigh. I guess this is why I was never into Gotham?
You thought Gotham was very violent?
Yay @NYJt3!
Thx for posting this thread. Am sooo ready for Season 3!

My new favorite saying
Sorry for the late reply; no, I thought Pennyworth S1 was excessive in their violence, but generally I’m not a fan of things like child abuse, spousal abuse, versus say big explosions in space or fantasy war as in GoT or LotR; it was things like Joffrey’s interpersonal behavior towards an individual, for example, that I took exception to.
