The Penguin : This crime drama continues the story established in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film “The Batman.”
“The Penguin,” an eight-episode limited series from HBO Max, is set to release on November 7, 2024. This crime drama continues the story established in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film “The Batman.” Colin Farrell stars as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, a character he portrayed in the original movie.
The series dives into the aftermath of the power vacuum in Gotham’s criminal underworld following the events of “The Batman,” focusing on Oz’s rise to power.
Developed by showrunner Lauren LeFranc and directed by Craig Zobel for the first three episodes, the series promises a dark and gritty narrative, with influences from classic crime films like “Scarface.” The show also features a stellar cast, including Cristin Milioti, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Clancy Brown.
“The Penguin” will be streaming exclusively on Max, the rebranded HBO Max, and is highly anticipated as a key part of DC Studios’ expanded “Batman Epic Crime saga”
