In our Q&a series Popsugar Crush, we get to know some of our favorite celebs' more intimate details - from their signature scent to their idea of a perfect date night. This month, we're crushing on "Swagger" actor and singer Tristan Mack Wilds.
Tristan Mack Wilds has had quite the career. At 33 years old, the acclaimed actor and singer has checked plenty off his bucket list - from starring in notable TV shows, films, and a Broadway play to releasing a Grammy-nominated album and working with Adele. He also stars in Apple TV+'s "Swagger," which returned for its second season on June 23. We'd be here all day naming Wilds's many achievements, though his greatest, by far, are his two daughters, Tristyn and Naima, with wife Christina Wilds. Still, after a nearly 20-year career, the Hollywood veteran says, "I still feel very young in the game."

“Pennyworth” isn’t exactly the same show in Season 3 that it was during the opening two years of its run on the soon-to-be-rebranded Epix. What began as a well-executed thought experiment — “What if Batman’s kindly caretaker was a Bond-style government contractor when he was in his twenties?” — has gradually morphed into something different. The opening credits theme has sanded off a bit of its orchestral flair, the show now has the unwieldy subtitle “The Origin of Batman’s Butler,” and the London surrounding its main character is absorbing more and more “Mad Men” pastels by the episode.
Yet, with all those changes, “Pennyworth” is the rare bright spot amid a litany of baffling-to-fatal decisions for HBO Max in 2022 (a list that got longer and graver just in the last few days). The streaming service that at its debut seemed like a home for some its namesake’s spirit of...

Bruno Heller has a funny way — quite literally — of describing the move of Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler from Epix to HBO Max.
First, imagine you’re in a grocery store and on the hunt for, ahem, something tasty to enjoy. “Years ago, people had very few choices. Now it’s much more like a supermarket,” explains Heller, who created the DC drama that stars Jack Bannon in the title role. “I don’t mean to be crass about this, but you’re on a shelf and where you are on the shelf becomes very important in a way that it wasn’t before. So platforms matter. We are just very excited to be in the center aisle, in the middle of shelf, next to the cornflakes instead of up there with the maple honey granola with soy granules in it. All of those cereals have an audience,...

Pennyworth finally makes the jump from Epix to HBO Max in the fall.
HBO Max on Wednesday confirmed the series will finally return in October.
With the move, the streamer has also changed the title.
Pennyworth: The Origins of Batman is the name.
Make of that what you will, but it seems like the streaming service is concerned the typical viewer won't know that the show is a Batman prequel.
The third season follows "Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British Sas soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) and his wife Martha (Emma Paetz), before they become Bruce Wayne’s parents."

HBO Max has closed a deal to bring DC origin series Pennyworth to its platform for a third season.
The series, which aired for two seasons on Epix, has been renewed for a third season and will make the move to the WarnerMedia digital platform in 2022.
It comes after Deadline revealed that Pennyworth producer Warner Bros. TV was in talks to bring the show over to its sibling streamer. The deal also includes the first two seasons of the Batman butler prequel launching on the service early next year.
Deadline understands that Epix will get a second window, per the deal.
The move, announced at the DC Fandome event, is not a huge as the MGM-owned cable network has been trimming its slate of scripted originals and the show premiered before the studio launched its own streaming service. It will join other DC titles such as Titans, Doom Patrol and Peacemaker on HBO Max.

“Pennyworth,” the DC Comics drama revolving around the early years of Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred, is moving to HBO Max for its third season.
The series produced by Warner Bros. Television aired for its first two seasons on Epix, the pay cabler owned by MGM. But now that HBO Max is the center of the WarnerMedia universe, it had long been expected that “Pennyworth” would jump to the in-house platform for Season 3. HBO Max has ordered 10 episodes.
The first two seasons of “Pennyworth” will become available on HBO Max early next year. There’s no word on a Season 3 premiere date beyond next year.

It’s pretty impressive that Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, who twisted Gotham into a funhouse mirror image of the comic book source material, got invited to do it a second time with their Epix series Pennyworth, purportedly the origins of Alfred. But which Alfred? And for which version of Batman?
Pennyworth: The Complete Second Season, with Covid-19 interruptions, finally arrived at the end of 2020 and is now available on a two-disc Blu-ray set from Warner Archive. You can decide for yourself if the series needed its connections to the Batman mythos, needed to exist at all or is entertaining. As with Gotham, the chaotic and uneven storytelling continues here in this weird, alternate reality of the world.
While it looks like the 1960s, the politics of England is decided more fascistic, and lots of secret organizations are having a secret war with the kingdom’s fate at stake.

"Pennyworth", the live-action dramatic TV series chronicling the early adventures of 'Batman' butler 'Alfred Pennyworth', debuts Season Two, December 13, 2020 on Epix:
"...England is embroiled in civil war, with the powerful 'Raven Union', led by 'Lord Harwood' (Jason Flemyng) threatening to control the entire country. North London remains one of the few resistance holdouts remaining. It's here in the 'West End Neutral Zone', that we find 'Alfred Pennyworth'.
"After years serving in the 'British Army', his training with the 'Sas' has taught him to be a cynical optimist – expecting the worst, but knowing that he can handle it. Now running 'The Delaney', a black-market 'Soho' club that welcomes everyone, regardless of their politics, Alfred, with his Sas mates, 'Bazza Bashford' (Hainsley Lloyd Bennett) and 'Daveboy MacDougal (Ryan Fletcher), is now in search of a way out – before London, and his country, burns itself to the ground.

Pennyworth Season 2 is coming soon to Epix, continuing to fulfill the show’s touted remit as a prequel to the Batman mythos, notably with Alfred’s eventual arrival in Gotham City.
Having debuted on July 28, 2019, Pennyworth is the product of creator/executive producer/writer Bruno Heller and executive producer/director Danny Cannon (CSI franchise), and served as a quick reunion of key personnel from another Batman prequel series, Fox’s Gotham, which had just ended its five-season run that April. However, any associations end there, since Pennyworth is set in London in the 1960s, therefore—after doing some quick math—eliminating the notion of any continuity connection with the contemporary-set Gotham.

This Pennyworth review contains spoilers.
Pennyworth Episode 3
Enter Batman’s mom. While Pennyworth immediately introduced the dry Thomas Wayne, the third episode brings in Martha Kane, the future mom of Bruce, and a very cool photojournalist/spy/No Name League member.
But I digress, because can we talk about the dog-man who walks through the frame in the pre-credits scene?
Alfred meets the Esme’s vicar father in some posh gentleman’s parlor, only to be rejected his blessing for their nuptials. Why? Because Esme, an heiress, is drawn to darkness and other perversions. As Alfred exits, we’re treated to a walk-on by a man in an animal costume that reminds one of the dog-man from The Shining.
This blink and you’ll miss it detail...
