The Penguin: The Batman Spin-off Series’ Timeline Revealed

Not a whole lot is known about the upcoming HBO series The Penguin, but in a recent interview with Variety, HBO Max’s Sarah Aubrey revealed where fans can expect the series to take place.

Aubrey, who serves as Head of Originals for HBO Max, was asked about how The Penguin will fit into the world of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which has plans to expand even further out in the future. Aubrey not only revealed that The Penguin will take place directly after the first film, but will also act as a bridge for the series in between its first and second movies, and show more of Oswald Cobblepot’s life.

“Penguin will sit immediately after the end of The Batman and temporally before the events of the second movie. The show will come out in between the two movies. Now beyond that, it’s fun for the audience to know that it will be a bridge between the two, but the actual release date, I’m not at liberty to say,” Aubrey revealed.

“The goal of this is to show what Oz’s life is like, and that’s very much in the streets of Gotham, trying to get up and over as only the Penguin can. As a hustler and a strategist with his own ambitions. It is a great example of having the time over eight episodes to tell a longer-arc character story with a lot of delicious twists and turns and new characters. It’s very much going to be about Gotham at that street level because he’s not flying around like Batman does. We are all embracing that as a very specific experience for audiences to have.”

The Penguin Episode Count Revealed for HBO Max Series

The Batman star Colin Farrell has revealed the episode count for the upcoming HBO Max spin-off series that will revolve around his character, The Penguin.

While speaking to Variety, the actor explained that the series will start shortly after the end of The Batman and clarified how long the show will be.

“It’s going to be an eight-part thing,” Farrell said. “Around Oz’s rise to power, filling that power vacuum created when Falcone was killed. Matt’s idea was to have the Penguin show begin about a week after the end of the Batman film. And if it works, if the trajectory is interesting, and the audience goes for it, and we do our jobs right, the second Penguin feature will pick up where the HBO show will end.”

The Penguin First Reviews: Colin Farrell’s Wild Performance Makes the Series a Must-Watch

Based on the DC Comics character, The Penguin is a TV spinoff of the 2022 superhero blockbuster movie The Batman with Colin Farrell reprising the titular role. While the series doesn’t premiere on Max until September 19, early reviews are already calling it one of the best comic book adaptations ever, quickly stamping it Certified Fresh. Farrell is said to give another stellar performance as the Penguin, while co-star Cristin Milioti steals the show out from under the prosthetics-laden actor. Comparisons to other crime genre classics are polarizing as it attempts to stand on its own, but overall, The Penguin is said to be a must-watch limited series.
