DC COMICS-BASED crime drama The Penguin is out on Max, with eight episodes scheduled to run until November 10.
Starring Colin Farrell as Oswald ‘Oz’ Cobblepot (also known as Penguin), The Batman (2022) spinoff series takes place one week after the film’s events. It is expected to explore the Penguin’s rise to power in Gotham City’s criminal underworld.
“It’s dark; that’s what I can tell you about it. It’s really dark. It’s really heavy,” Colin revealed in an interview.
“Not to say I didn’t have fun, I had an amazing time doing it. It’s incredibly violent. It’s one man’s rise to what he’s always dreamt of inhabiting, which is a certain power or social status. This is Oswald’s journey trying to rise to the top through extraordinary obstacles,” he added.
The series will also star Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, a psychopathic serial killer who fights the Penguin for control of Gotham’s criminal underworld. Rhenzy Feliz stars as Victor Aguilar, a teenager who befriends the Penguin and becomes his driver.
