The Penguin is a hit! The HBO series from DC Studios stars Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb (aka The Penguin), and is a continuation of the saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with the global blockbuster The Batman. With just a few weeks left to go in the show’s first seasons, many viewers are curious if it will continue on for a second season. Keep reading to find out more… HBO has not currently renewed The Penguin for Season 2, but the director is interested in doing so. After the Penguin finale, we may have a clearer picture of what’s ahead. And if Farrell can be persuaded to put on all those prosthetics again, we may even see a second season. “I always said we’re going to continue [the Penguin’s] story,” Matt Reeves recently told Esquire. “Initially, the idea was to continue it in the next film. And then when we were talking about doing shows, I was talking to [The Batman producer] Dylan Clark and [HBO heads] Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey. Casey said, ‘Look, I just want to say, I hope you’re not going to save the marquee characters for just the movies. This is HBO.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, let me tell you what this kind of Scarface-esque story is.’ It isn’t his origin story. It’s sort of like Batman’s story—the way that I did it—because there’d been so many origin tales. It’s the early days; it’s the origins of all of the rogues’-gallery characters.” However, it’s not so clear if Colin Farrell would even want to return for Season 2. Find out why he might not do it.
