Check out the latest trailer for The Penguin, a spin-off of The Batman, showcasing Colin Farrell as “Oz” and his quest to seize control of Gotham City. Watch it here!
Max has just unveiled a tantalizing teaser for The Penguin, confirming its premiere on the streaming service this fall.
Starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, as per the press release, the eight-episode DC Studios drama series extends the crime saga initiated by filmmaker Matt Reeves in Warner Bros. Pictures’ global blockbuster ‘The Batman.’ It focuses on Farrell’s character from the film.
Plot details are scarce, and the sneak peek doesn’t give away much. While there are intriguing glimpses of the supporting cast, they are eclipsed by a riveting monologue from The Penguin, revealing his ambition to dominate Gotham City’s underworld.
Emerging from the aftermath of The Batman, The Penguin promises to bridge the gap between films, especially considering The Batman 2’s shift from October 3, 2025, to October 2, 2026. With the series premiering in the fall, fans can anticipate a seamless continuation of the narrative.
“It’s going to be an eight-part thing,” Colin Farrell previously said of The Penguin. “Around Oz’s rise to power, filling that power vacuum created when Falcone was killed. Matt’s idea was to have the Penguin show begin about a week after the end of the Batman film.”
“And if it works, if the trajectory is interesting, and the audience goes for it, and we do our jobs right, the second [The Batman] feature will pick up where the HBO show will end.”
Starring Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Clancy Brown, and Michael Zegen, The Penguin boasts an impressive ensemble cast.
Executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Lauren LeFranc (who also serves as showrunner), Craig Zobel (directing the first three episodes), and Bill Carraro, the series promises a gripping narrative.
Drawing inspiration from characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, The Penguin is a production of Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Reeves and 6th & Idaho maintain an overall deal. Daniel Pipski joins as an executive producer.
Set to premiere on Max this fall, The Penguin offers a thrilling extension to The Batman universe. Don’t miss the new trailer below.
