Lorne Balfe (Mission: Impossible – Fallout, The LEGO Batman Movie, Bad Boys for Life, The Crown, Genius) is the new composer of the Epix original series Pennyworth. He is currently scoring the second season of the show developed by Bruno Heller based on DC characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger and starring Jack Bannon as Alfred Pennyworth and Ben Aldridge as Thomas Wayne, as well as Jason Flemyng, Emma Paetz, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson and Paloma Faith. They are joined by new series regulars James Purefoy, Edward Hogg, Jessye Romeo, Ramon Tikaram, Harriet Slater, Simon Manyonda and Jessica de Gouw. The new season is set a year after the events of last season as England finds itself embroiled in a devastating civil war, with the powerful, neo-fascist Raven Union threatening to control the entire country. Heller (Gotham, The Mentalist) is also executive producing the Warner Horizon Television and DC Entertainment production with Danny Cannon (CSI series) and Matthew Patnick (The Night Manager, Peaky Blinders). David Russo has scored last year’s first season of the crime drama. Season 2 of Pennyworth will premiere this Sunday, December 13 on Epix. Visit the official show website for updates.
Balfe’s other recent and upcoming projects include the Michael Bay-produced Songbird, which has just been released on PVOD yesterday, the second season of His Dark Materials, which currently airs Monday nights on HBO, as well as Marvel’s Black Widow, Chris McKay’s The Tomorrow War, Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible 7 & 8, the animated movie Rumble and Camille Griffin’s Silent Night,
