Move aside Bruce Wayne, because it's time for beloved butler Alfred Pennyworth to get his time in the TV spotlight.

Developed by Gotham producers Danny Cannon and Bruno Heller, Batman prequel series Pennyworth is set to focus on the early years of the long-serving Wayne butler Alfred.

And now we know when it will start filming too, with a listing on Production Weekly revealing that Pennyworth will go into production on November 21 in London (via Pursue News).

According to the listing, filming will go on for a period of seven months and is expected to wrap in June 2019, which hopefully means we're looking at a late 2019 premiere date and should definitely mean that we'll start getting casting announcements quite soon too.

Despite both shows coming from the same writing team, Pennyworth and Gotham will actually exist in two separate universes, meaning that Gotham's Alfred actor Sean Pertwee won't be reprising his role for the new series.

And we can probably rule out the Worlds of DC cinema-verse's Alfred, Jeremy Irons, too.

Pennyworth received a 10-episode order from US subscription channel EPIX earlier this year, and the series will follow ex-Special Forces soldier Alfred in the 1960s as he first works with Young Master Bruce's father Thomas Wayne in London.

"As genuine fans of these classic DC characters, as well as the incredibly talented Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, we couldn't be more excited to make Epix the home of this series," Epix president Michael Wright said in a statement at the time of the announcement.

And as for Gotham, the Fox series has been renewed for a fifth and final season that will apparently finally see Bruce (David Mazouz) complete his transformation into Batman after years of build-up.

The fourth season finale aired in the US back in May, while E4 airs the series in the UK. And although E4 has only just aired the 19th episode of the 22-episode season, Netflix UK has just made the entire fourth season available to watch, meaning fans can now binge the last three episodes.

Gotham airs on FOX in the US and E4 in the UK, where seasons 1-4 are also available on demand via Netflix.
