Production has begun on Season 2 of EPIX’s “Pennyworth” series, and the origin story for Batman’s butler Alfred has added five new series regulars to its cast.
The new cast members are James Purefoy (“Sex Education,” “Altered Carbon”), Edward Hogg (“Taboo,” “Harlots”), Jessye Romeo (“Curfew,” “In the Long Run”), and Harriet Slater (“Faunutland” and the Lost Magic”). Ramon Tikaram (“Brassic,” “The Victim”) returns from season one in a more regular role.
The 10-episode season has been shooting since January at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K., where it shot Season 1. Season 2 is expected to premiere this summer.
