What did you think of Colin Farrell’s version of The Penguin? Unrecognizable, right?! Fans agree that he nailed the role, and now he gets the chance to push the boundaries even further. HBO Max has ordered a limited series drama about The Penguin that will star Farrell himself. The DC series will expand upon the world that filmmaker Matt Reeves has created in Warner Bros’ blockbuster hit currently in theaters, “The Batman.” They plan to continue the story and watch Colin take his amazing performance in ‘The Batman’ to the next level.

According to Reeves, Colin exploded off the screen as the Penguin in ‘The Batman,’ and having the chance to thoroughly explore the inner life of that character on HBO Max is an absolute thrill. Dylan and I are so excited to work with Lauren in continuing Oz’s story as he grabs violently for power in Gotham.

The show is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, and Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as the showrunner. It will be based on the characters original created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger and it will be produced by Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

LeFranc said that she has been a fan of the world of ‘The Batman,’ and Matt’s film is such a powerful and bold entry into the canon. I am excited and humbled to continue telling stories in the grimy world of Gotham City – and what better excuse to channel my inner villain than to tell the story of Oswald Cobblepot? I am thrilled to work with Colin, Matt, Dylan, 6th & Idaho, Warners, and HBO Max as we work to bring this story to the screen.
