Although the HBO and DC Studios series "The Penguin" was envisioned as a limited series, following its critical acclaim, many have speculated about the possibility of a second season. In a new interview, Farrell addresses his thoughts on the idea of a Season 2.
“Oh, I don’t know. I have a bit of a, generally speaking, I have a bit of a negativity bias,” Farrell told ComicBook. “Apparently, I’ve been told by various people close to me. So I would say I would bet against, but not by much.”
Farrell noted “that the powers that be” have been coming up with “storylines that could justify” another season.
The actor also teased how "The Penguin" leads right into The Batman Part II, saying, “It conveniently worked that the death at the end of The Batman and the devastation within Gotham opened up a power vacuum that then Oz could try and capitalize on.”
“That was perfect for the parallel eight hours that we had,” he added. “And then [The Batman Part II] will pick up, whatever, a few weeks after the show ended. But I kind of bet against, but not by a wide mark.”
The Batman Part II is set to start filming in the spring, with a release date of October 1, 2027.
