Pennyworth - Season 2 -
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.
The conflict is between the German-inspired (authoritarian, eugenicist fascists) and the English League (a populist, right-wing nationalist group). However, a third, more terrifying power has emerged: The Cutter virus. A bioweapon unleashed by the Raven Society, the virus has plunged the capital into a lockdown reminiscent of The Walking Dead meets V for Vendetta . People are dying in the streets, masked soldiers patrol checkpoints, and paranoia is the true currency of the city. Alfred’s Transformation: From Soldier to King In Season 1, Alfred was trying to escape his past. In Season 2, he embraces a monstrous version of his future. After losing loved ones and facing the sheer chaos of the virus, Alfred makes a pragmatic deal with the devil. Pennyworth - Season 2
