The series telling the origin story of Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth will begin production on Season 2 in January. The renewal comes one month after Pennyworth's Season 1 finale. "Pennyworth has been a big hit for us, embraced by critics and fans alike," Epix president Michael Wright said in a statement. "It was the highest-performing original series ever to premiere on Epix, more than doubling the viewership of the shows that came before it. Bruno Heller, Danny Cannon and WBTV have delivered a brilliant, must watch series. We can’t wait to work with this phenomenal cast and creative team on another exciting season.”
