The Penguin Trailer Sets Release Date for Colin Farrell-led Spin-off Series

A new The Penguin trailer has been released for the upcoming HBO series that serves as a spin-off to 2022’s The Batman . It sees Colin Farrell reprise his role as the notorious villain Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot. The first episode will debut on Thursday, September 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

The Penguin is set one week after the events of The Batman, meaning that Gotham City is now flooded after Paul Dano’s The Riddler blew up the seawall surrounding the city. The series follows Farrell’s Cobblepot as he attempts to take control of Gotham’s criminal underworld.

What is The Penguin about?

Along with Farrell, the series stars Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Clancy Brown, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Michael Zegen, Theo Rossi, and Carmen Ejogo.

“We’re in Oz’s world,” Lauren LeFranc, who serves as the showrunner for the DC Studios and Warner Bros. Television series, recently told Entertainment Weekly . “We’re living in the underbelly of the city. Oz is a mover and a shaker. He can’t always be trusted. He’s very smart and very methodical, but he’s also extremely impulsive. You can’t predict what he’s going to do.”

Farrell also said of Milioti, who plays Carmine Falcone’s daughter Sofia in The Penguin, “[Sofia and Oz are] two survivalists who’ve been immersed in worlds of duplicity and defeat and violence. They’re very suspicious. They also have a very personally connected backstory.”

The Penguin premieres as an HBO Original this coming September.

A sequel to The Batman, meanwhile, is also in the works. With Robert Pattinson reprising his role as the Dark Knight, the movie will once again directed by Matt Reeves. The Batman — Part II is currently scheduled to be released in United States theaters on October 2, 2026. The Batman is currently streaming on Max.
