We hardly knew ye, [i]Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler[/i][i] [/i]on HBO Max, formerly known as just [i]Pennyworth [/i]on Epix. The origin series for the Wayne family’s confidant and eventual keeper of the Batcave is coming to an end after its third season. Wait, it got three seasons?

The news was reported by Variety and other trades. The series premiered on Epix (now called MGM+) in 2019 and ran there for two seasons before making the jump to HBO Max in the fall of 2022; it featured Jack Banon [i](The Imitation Game) [/i]as Alfred Pennyworth in his action-packed days as a spy during the mod era—decades before he became Batman’s babysitter and father figure. It was compelling enough to warrant three seasons, with the Wayne familypopping up as supporting characters, including baby Bats! Alas, under the new DC Studios regime, [i]Pennyworth[/i] won’t be part ofthe revamped DC Universe of film and television. Please, no one go and ask James Gunn why.
