Matt Reeves Discusses HBO's The Penguin Season 2 Plans

Matt Reeves has confirmed that discussions about a second season of The Penguin are underway, with showrunner Lauren LeFranc actively considering the next steps. The HBO Max series, a spin-off of the 2022 film The Batman, starring Colin Farrell as Oswald 'Oz' Cobblepot, achieved critical acclaim and earned 24 Emmy nominations, including a win for Cristin Milioti as Outstanding Lead Actress. While excitement for a follow-up is strong, production of The Batman: Part II, scheduled to begin filming in spring 2025 for an October 2027 release, will take precedence, likely delaying any new season of The Penguin. Reeves expressed surprise and gratitude for the show's reception and praised the cast and creative team's work. Although no official renewal has been announced, the passion behind the project and ongoing talks suggest that a second season could become a reality in the future. Fans should expect a significant gap between the new Batman film and any continuation of The Penguin series due to scheduling and production priorities.
