It portrays him not as a polished butler, but as a young, resourceful ex-British SAS soldier struggling to carve his own path in a world riddled with espionage, criminal underworlds, and Cold War tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pennyworth Season 2 | Official Trailer\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ozC8r7icsf4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Cast and Crew<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Cast:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Jack Bannon<\/strong> (Alfred Pennyworth), <strong>Ben Aldridge<\/strong> (Thomas Wayne), <strong>Emma Paetz<\/strong> (Martha Wayne), <strong>Paloma Faith<\/strong> (Bet Sykes), <strong>Jason Flemyng<\/strong> (John Ripper), <strong>Ryan Fletcher<\/strong> (Dave Boy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Creator and Screenwriter:<\/strong>&nbsp;Bruno Heller<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Director:<\/strong>\u00a0Various directors across all three seasons<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Episode Release Dates:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Season 1<\/strong>: Premiered <strong>July 28, 2019<\/strong> (originally on Epix)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Seasons 2 &amp; 3<\/strong>: Premiered on MGM+ (specific dates vary)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=696%2C392&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=747%2C420&amp;ssl=1 747w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?resize=1068%2C601&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/PENNYWORTH-Series-2019-MGM-03.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Story: From Soldier to Security Specialist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Alfred, recently discharged from the military with a head full of combat experience and a thirst for normalcy, forms a security company with his former SAS colleagues.
