Pennyworth: - Season 2

While the shadow of Gotham City looms large over modern television, few prequel series have taken as bold and unexpected a path as Pennyworth . When Season 1 introduced us to a young, suave Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon) as a British SAS operative turned mercenary, it was clear this wasn't your father’s butler origin story. With Season 2 —officially subtitled “The King of London” —the show didn’t just raise the stakes; it detonated them.

He partners with the sadistic and the mysterious Salt (Jessye Romeo) to form a private security firm. But this isn't about bodyguard work anymore. Alfred essentially becomes a crime lord—dubbed "The King of London" by the underworld. He runs illegal gambling dens, smuggles goods across the quarantine line, and brutally tortures enemies for information. Pennyworth - Season 2
