Penguin: a series dedicated to Oswald Cobblepot is being prepared

Irish actor Colin Farrell will reprise his role as the iconic Batman villain in Penguin.

HBO Max commissioned The Penguin miniseries, starring Colin Farrell, to infiltrate the world of Batman films. The spin-off is being produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell and Lauren LeFranc, who are writing and directing the TV series.

Matt Reeves said, “Colin stole the screen as The Penguin in The Batman and being able to explore this character’s inner life in depth on HBO Max is an absolute delight.”Dylan Clark and I are thrilled to be working with Lauren LeFranc to continue the story of Oz as it forcibly takes over Gotham.”Colin Farrell added: “The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman deserves a deeper look at it through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot. I am very excited to continue this exploration of Oz as he rises through the dark ranks to become the Penguin. It will be good to bring him back to the streets of Gotham for a little mischief and a little mayhem. “
