The last we heard of Epix’s Alfred Pennyworth prequel series, it was reported that the legendary butler would be receiving a 10-episode straight to series order from the company during it's announcement in May.
Whether the concept and story of a young Alfred Pennyworth is something worth telling is one that will be argued as the series develops further, but it seems as though Epix is very set on gearing up production soon.
The latest report from Omega Underground points to the production of the series’ pilot commencing during upcoming fall/winter season, and is certainly expected to do so before the year closes out.
When the series was announced it was reported that the program would be set in London during the 1960's with Pennyworth teaming up with a young Thomas Wayne. It is hard to imagine seeing the series last more than two or three seasons, with the premise shaping up more like a miniseries than anything else. Regardless, Epix hopes to roll out the series on screens during the fall of next year.
