For 2019, the network recently announced the series orders of dramas Godfather of Harlem (from executive producers Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein, and Oscar® winner Forest Whitaker who will also star) and Pennyworth, an origin story about Batman's best friend and butler, Alfred Pennyworth from Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics.
