Pennyworth Season 3: Would It Premiere On HBO Max?

When a popular television show was canceled in the 1980s and 1990s, it was likely the final time you’d ever see it again. If a popular show gets canceled, there’s a significant likelihood that it won’t be truly over, especially if there are numerous other networks and streaming platforms to choose from.

The Sex and the City reboot and Cinemax’s Warrior have both been revived by HBO Max in the past few months, as have several other previously canceled shows and several that were on the edge of termination. Time Warner owns both DC Comics and HBO Max, so it’s no surprise that a slew of shows based on the comics has found a new home on HBO Max.

Pennyworth was one of the shows on the verge of being canceled. The news that Pennyworth would be returning for a third season on HBO Max thrilled fans. So far, the launch date, cast, and where to watch the returning favorite are all known.

Pennyworth Season 2 Recap

In the second season of “Pennyworth,” Alfred must deal with the tragic death of his close buddy Bazza, who compelled him and Daveboy to make a commitment to travel to America together. In addition, Aziz is elected Prime Minister, and the Raven Union begins producing a deadly gas called Stormcloud, which they intend to use as a weapon.

A new “Batman” comics character, Lucius Fox, is also introduced in this season. A lot of startling twists and turns round out the season. To begin with, Martha Kane and Thomas Wayne marry under the watchful eye of Detective Inspector Aziz.

With the help of Pennyworth, Daveboy, and a number of other characters from the program, Lord Harwood is able to foil the Raven Union’s plan to destroy the world. To further defy all established “Batman” canon, Martha gives birth to a female child.

Pennyworth Season 3 Plot

While the plot of “Pennyworth” Season 3 is currently unknown, it was stated during the 2021 DC FanDome event that the third season will begin five years after the events of the show’s second season.

Many of the show’s characters, including Martha, Thomas, Alfred, Bet Sykes, and Lucius Fox, will get more screen time in the upcoming season as the show “dives in deeper” into their stories, according to reports.

Pennyworth Season 3 Cast

As long as the characters are still alive, no news has been made about the actors who portray Captain Gulliver Troy (James Purefoy) and Melanie Troy ( Jessica De Gouw), Arthur Pennyworth (Ian Puleston-Davies), and Patricia Wayne (Salome Gunnarsdóttir).

Ryan Fletcher (Wallace “Dave Boy” MacDougal)
Dorothy Atkinson (Mary Pennyworth)
Ramon Tikaram (Prime Minister Victor Aziz)
Harriet Slater (Sandra Onslow)
Simon Manyonda (Lucius Fox)
Waseem Mirza (TV reporter)

Jack Bannon (Alfred “Alfie” Pennyworth)

Before he becomes Bruce Wayne’s butler and right-hand man, Alfie is depicted as a young guy. Drama school auditions for Bannon, who plays the show’s title character, were turned down twice before putting him on Endeavor.

Ben Aldridge (Thomas Wayne)

Thomas Wayne, Batman’s father, is a multi-billionaire businessman. During his downtime, Wayne works for the CIA as a secret agent.

Aldridge has appeared on both Reign and Fleabag, so he may look familiar. The Long Call, a Britbox series, also has him as the show’s star.

Emma Paetz (Martha Kane)

Batman’s mother is a journalist and a member of the No Name League, a secret vigilante group. In the beginning, she and Thomas Wayne don’t like each other, but we all know what their future holds.

Paloma Faith (Bet Sykes)

As a friend or antagonist of Alfred Pennyworth, Bet Sykes straddles the fine line. Wicked and dark, she is. Additionally, Faith has had three albums chart in the top ten and countless top ten singles to her credit.

3 you showed Shazam fury of the gods with lots of humor. I’ll guarantee in Black Adam there will be a lot of humor stuffed in it. Your Audience want this! AS WELL as the grit. Instead now Marvel will do the grittier (midnight sons etc) & DC will end up copying instead of leading.

Pennyworth Season 3 Release Date

Season 2 of “Pennyworth” concluded on April 11, 2021, however, there was no official word on the show’s future until a little over six months later. Fortunately, “Pennyworth” was renewed for a third season during the 2021 DC FanDome event.

“Pennyworth” was reported to go from Epix to HBO Max (via Deadline) if the show was renewed prior to its formal renewal. When “Pennyworth” was renewed for a third season in October 2021, the suspicions were confirmed, as well as the fact that the show’s third season would premiere on HBO Max. “Pennyworth” Season 3 has not yet been given a release date.

That said, the debut date for Pennyworth Season 3 was revealed at the show’s 2021 DC FanDome panel. As a result, it’s safe to assume that the premiere date for the show in 2022 will be announced in the coming months. HBO Max subscribers may now view the first two seasons of “Pennyworth” for free, as long as they don’t mind rewatching them.
