With the release of The Penguin Season 1, anticipation is growing among fans regarding Season 2. There has been widespread speculation about the TV series’ release date. It’s a crime-drama fantasy-adventure TV series. It follows the events of The Batman (2022) and showcases how Oz Cobb, a.k.a. the Penguin, tries a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham.
Here’s all we know about The Penguin Season 2 release date and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there The Penguin Season 2 release date?
There has been no official announcement regarding the future of The Penguin Season 2.
At the time of writing, the creator or the directors of the show haven’t confirmed anything related to Season 2. Additionally, it has been labeled a limited series. Still, this has not deterred fans from engaging in speculation and attempting to infer potential developments.
Currently, there is no official announcement from HBO and MAX regarding the approval of Season 2. There have been times when limited series have been pushed for a second season due to its demand among viewers. So, while the decision remains uncertain now, it could depend on the performance of the first season in terms of viewership.
Having said that, while viewers seem to be awaiting news about the show’s renewal, Colin Farrell doesn’t seem too keen on taking on the role, at least for the next year or so. When TotalFilm (via GamesRadar+) asked him if he thinks a Season 2 could happen, he said:
“I don’t know, man. Don’t get me wrong – I loved it – but it got in on me a little bit. By the end of it, I was bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I f****** wanted it to be finished. I tried to remind them that I had ‘grumpy gratitude.’ I was still grateful, and still honored.”
“And maybe in a year, I would. But when I finished I was like, ‘I never want to put that…suit and that…head on again,'” he added.
This showcases how demanding this role was for Farrell, with all the prosthetics.
So far, none of the other cast members or the creators of the show have said anything about a second season for The Penguin. Given that, we probably won’t hear any news about it until after the last episode of Season 1 airs on November 10, 2024.
The Penguin’s cast members include Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Mark Strong, Michael Kelly, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, and more.
Where is The Penguin Season 2 coming out?
The Penguin Season 2 is anticipated to come out on HBO and MAX. It’s because the first season is currently running on this particular platform. And if the show is renewed for another season, it will most likely come out on the same platform.
