The Origin of Batman's Butler will be told no more, with confirmation that HBO Max has decided not to continue the adventures of Alfred Pennyworth.
"While HBO Max is not moving forward with another season of Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler, we are very thankful to creator Bruno Heller and executive producers Matthew Patnick, Danny Cannon and John Stephens, along with Warner Bros. Television, for their brilliant, unique, gripping depiction of the origin of Alfred Pennyworth, one of the most iconic characters in the Batman world," an HBO Max spokesperson said. "An incredible blend of action, drama and humor, for three seasons, Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler has taken fans on a mind-bending ride into Alfred's eccentric world and the beginnings of cutting-edge super heroes and super villains."
Given the announcement by James Gunn and Peter Safran that characters would be played by the same actor across the DC screen universes, and in one continuity unless clearly marked as Elseworlds, this isn't surprising - and the season 3 cliffhanger certainly would have led to a very different world from the one usually portrayed.
