Been awhile since we had some news to report on EPIX's upcoming drama based on Stephen King's 1978 short story "Jerusalem's Lot". In fact, it was a little over two months ago when we learned the project received a straight-to-series order, with Adrien Brody (The Pianist) cast as lead Capt. Charles Boone. Now, the series […]

Let's go ahead and jump into the cable content coming this season – remember, traditional cable channels are still loosely adhering to the standard television season. If you see a series that doesn't have a premiere date, it's most likely a mid-fall release, early 2020 release, or a summer series. This time, we're taking a […]
When I heard there was going to be yet another Batman spinoff show, I rolled my eyes. Then a British friend told me it was worth a look and I found the first three episodes of EPIX's Pennyworth for free on Amazon Prime. Good Lord, this series is insane – in all the right ways! […]

To help put on the new show, EPIX put on one heck of a party on the Thursday night of SDCC 2019. Taking place at The Oxford Social Club, […]
The canonical "universe" setting of Epix' new Pennyworth series has been one of the most fiercely disputed subjects since the series was first announced a few months back. Pennyworth centers around young Alfred "Alfie" Pennyworth (Jack Bannon) as he tries to make his place in the world, fiercely refusing to take up his father's vocation […]
Last summer Teen Titans Go! to the Movies made a joke at the beginning of the movie that essentially calls out how ridiculous the superhero movie craze has gotten. One of the examples that they use to illustrate this point is an Alfred movie. That joke was good in the movie but within the context […]
EPIX's Pennyworth opens with a wide open shot, panning back through the misty countryside as a mounted group of gentry plow ahead, dressed to the nines in a fox hunt set to The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black". The scene twists suddenly as one of the upper-crust is abducted by a mysterious woman (Paloma Faith) […]
We'll admit it: which shows make it onto the hotel keycards at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) every year is a bit of a guilty pleasure of ours, so you'll have to excuse us for getting excited for this year's selections. To pay tribute to Batman's 80th anniversary this year, Warner Bros. Television Group is offering […]
The fine folks behind Pennyworth took a quick moment to drop a couple of new trailers for the upcoming Epix series, and we've got a new poster for our troubles, too: Pennyworth stars Jack Bannon as the young Alfred Pennyworth, who has set up a security agency of his own after leaving the British secret […]
Epix has a series set to debut this summer that chronicles the early relationship of one Alfred Pennyworth, and his friendship to a certain American named Thomas Wayne. That series is Pennyworth, and it's a prequel to the FOX series Gotham. I'm not sure if one network has ever developed a prequel to another network's […]
Epix recently unleashed a new trailer for Pennyworth, a new hour long drama that acts as a prequel to Gotham, which is in itself a prequel to Batman… That's a whole lot of prequels! With that new trailer, we have descriptions of the characters that will be portrayed in Pennyworth, which chronicles the life of […]
With FOX's Gotham coming to an end (with The Dark Knight expected to make an appearance in the series final that will most likely be longer than Tom Welling's blink-and-you'll-miss-Superman ending to Smallville), Batman fans are going to be in need for some more Caped Crusader mythos. No frets, folks! Epix has unveiled an official […]
Emma Paetz (Gentleman Jack) is joining Epix's Batman prequel series Pennyworth in a very "maternal" series regular role, while Lovesick's Jessica Ellerby is set as a recurring character. Paetz and Ellerby join Jack Bannon (Alfred) and Ben Aldridge (Thomas Wayne) in the 10-episode, one-hour drama from executive producer writer Bruno Heller (Gotham, The Mentalist), executive producer/director Danny Cannon (Gotham), and Warner Horizon […]
Just because Gotham creators Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon are wrapping up their series run on FOX doesn't mean they are anywhere near done playing around with the Batman mythos, with the producers offering Deadline Hollywood new details Pennyworth, another Batman prequel series that's set to debut on Epix in June 2019.
