How to watch Pennyworth in the UK
The Batman prequel series aired for three seasons in the US.
While Colin Farrell won fans over with The Penguin, there already wasn't a shortage of Batman spin-off series out there – enter Pennyworth!
The series was followed a younger version of Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's iconic butler (played in this series by Jack Bannon), and served as a prequel to Gotham.
Pennyworth ran for three seasons on Epix before being cancelled, but now fans in the UK who may have missed it before are able to catch up. Here's how!
How to watch Pennyworth in the UK
Seasons 1-3 of Pennyworth will be available to watch on ITVX for free from Sunday 12th January 2025.
All three seasons will drop at the same time, so fans will be in for quite the binge!
What is the plot of Pennyworth?
The series is set in London in the 1960s, and gives us an insight in the life of "Alfie" Pennyworth, a former SAS soldier who decides to set up a security firm upon his return home from war. One of his first clients is Thomas Wayne, who will later become his employer.
Through a link to Wayne, Alfie and his girlfriend get drawn into conflict with a secret society that looks likely to be the crux of the narrative for the season.
Like Gotham, the more direct prequel series that came before it, it is not set in the real world as we know it. "It’s a very different world [to the one we know],” executive Danny Cannon said of the series.
"His is the DC version of 1960s London ... history is different: It’s not the England we know. It looks and feels like it, but if you look a little closer, [you ask], ‘Why is that like that? Why is that building there? What war is he talking about?'"
