Colin Farrell Hints at Possible Penguin Season 2

The Penguin was conceived as a limited series to bridge Matt Reeves’ Batman films and became a critical hit, earning numerous Emmy nominations and a win for Cristin Milioti. Colin Farrell, who plays Oswald “Oz” Cobb, says he’s pessimistic but not definitive about a second season—“I’d bet against, but not by a wide mark”—and stresses any return would need a story that justifies another eight hours. Farrell and others confirm The Batman Part II will pick up a few weeks after the series finale, is scheduled for release on October 1, 2027, and is expected to begin filming in 2026; Oz will have a smaller role in the sequel. Later reporting indicates Sofia Gigante is reportedly not returning to the franchise. Matt Reeves and studio figures remain open to further Penguin entries but say any decision on a follow-up will wait until the sequel’s production is underway.
