• Episode 8 – Sunday, November 10

Sunday evenings have long held a prominent position in HBO’s programming history, serving as the broadcast time for acclaimed series such as The Sopranos, Sex in the City, The Wire, and Six Feet Under. The success of these shows also inspired other networks to create their own primetime Sunday lineups featuring series.

Despite this competition, HBO continues to dominate the Sunday time slot, reinforcing its legacy with the decision to move The Penguin to the same. Beyond the broader context of HBO’s programming, moving The Penguin to Sunday nights is a strategic move. By releasing new episodes on weekends, the show can more easily attract viewers seeking entertainment.

As The Penguin progresses, its story will delve deeper into the backstories of its characters, including Oz Cobblepot himself. The trailer released earlier suggests that flashbacks featuring a younger Oz will provide further insight into how his disability has shaped his criminal journey within the universe of The Batman.
