HBO Max’s series *The Penguin* was a big success, winning nine Emmy Awards and potentially earning a second season. The show, which takes place after the movie *The Batman*, follows Oswald “Oz” Cobb, a.k.a. the Penguin (played by Colin Farrell), as he fights to take over Gotham City’s criminal organizations. Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), the daughter of the late Carmine Falcone, is his main rival, but the Penguin ultimately wins, sending Sofia back to Arkham Asylum. Despite Milioti winning an Emmy for her performance, she won’t be in *The Batman Part II*. Farrell will return as Oz in the sequel, but his role will be different. This makes a second season of *The Penguin* even more important, giving the show’s compelling crime bosses another chance to take center stage.
