The Penguin Announces Release Weekend Details

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for both gaming and superheroes, I must say, HBO has truly leveled up their game with “The Penguin.” Having grown up watching Batman and his rogues gallery unfold on the silver screen, the prospect of diving deeper into Gotham City’s underbelly is an exciting one.


As a fellow gaming enthusiast and fan of all things Batman, I’m super excited about HBO’s plans for the debut weekend of “The Penguin”! This HBO Original limited series is a spinoff from The Batman, with the talented Colin Farrell stepping back into his role as Oz Cobblepot, aka The Penguin. Unlike the usual focus on the Dark Knight, “The Penguin” promises to shine a light on the gritty underbelly of Gotham City and the power struggles among its various crime families. Instead of the traditional Sunday night premiere, “The Penguin” is set to drop its first episode on Thursday, September 19th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. But here’s the cool part: HBO has planned multiple re-airs over the weekend for those who can’t catch it live! Can’t wait to dive in and see what twists and turns this series will bring!

On Thursday, September 19th, the first episode of “The Penguin” will be broadcast, followed by re-airs throughout the weekend culminating on Sunday, September 22nd at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Moving forward, each new installment of “The Penguin” will air on Sundays at 9 p.m., with Episode 2 premiering on September 29th. HBO subscribers can catch any of these air dates, while Max users can stream the series on-demand. To mark the occasion, HBO has unveiled fresh artwork for “The Penguin,” which you can find below.

How The Penguin sets up The Batman sequel

Matt Reeves, creator of The Penguin series, along with showrunner Lauren LeFranc, have shared insights about how their series will pave the way for events in The Batman Part II. In essence, LeFranc explained to Entertainment Weekly that “We function as a link between the two films.” They are essentially moving straight into the second film that Matt [Reeves] has planned.

Dylan Clark, the producer, hinted at more developments for the The Batman series. “We’ve got another TV investigation planned,” Clark shared. “We’re examining this entire Batman universe, focusing on the adversaries surrounding him, the crime rampant in the city, and searching for the prime locations to delve into.”

What is The Penguin about?

In this new DC Studios series, Colin Farrell portrays Oz Cobb (also known as “The Penguin”). This continuation of Matt Reeves’ crime saga from The Batman, initially introduced through Warner Bros. Pictures’ hit movie of the same name, is further developed by showrunner Lauren LeFranc. The story primarily revolves around Farrell’s character, as seen in the film.

Having spent a significant portion of my life immersed in the world of television and film, I have had the pleasure of observing and analyzing countless acting performances. Among the many talented individuals I have come across, the ensemble cast of a popular series stands out as one that demonstrates a remarkable depth and range of abilities.

On Thursday, the 19th of September, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time or Pacific Time, I’ll be diving into the premiere of “The Pengui”! Each subsequent episode from this eight-episode series will follow, airing on HBO and Max every Sunday thereafter. Let’s see what this captivating show has in store for us!
