Originally announced as a Max Original, The Penguin — like several ot he upcoming series, including Dune: Prophecy , the IT prequel Welcome to Derry and the (green) Lanterns DC hero series — was recently rerouted to HBO.
The announcement of the DC crime drama’s premiere date at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday evening was accompanied by the release of the final trailer, above.
In the offshoot of Reeves’ The Batman , Farrell’s title character hopes to call the shots in Gotham after Carmine Falcone’s demise. Oz, though, immediately finds himself up against Carmine’s children — Sofia ( How I Met Your Mother ‘s Cristin Milioti) and Alberto ( Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ‘s Michael Zegen) — among several others who have no intention of letting him take control of Gotham’s criminal underbelly.
Ordered to series over two years ago, the eight-episode Warner Bros. Television/DC Studios drama “continues the epic crime saga” that filmmaker Reeves began in 2022 with Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Batman .
