We are going to be waiting quite a while for the sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman, but in the meantime, Colin Farrell is here to help tide us over. On Friday, Max released a teaser trailer for The Penguin, which is a spinoff series set a week after the events of 2022’s The Batman. Colin Farrell reprises his role from the movie as the series explores Oswald Cobblepot’s fight against Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) for control of Gotham’s criminal underworld.
Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios still aren’t ready to announce the release date yet, but all eight episodes of The Penguin will be streaming on Max this fall.
Watch the official teaser trailer for The Penguin on Max below:
The trailer doesn’t tell us much about the plot, but keep in mind that this is only a teaser. Closer to the actual premiere of the show this fall, we should get a longer trailer that shows off more of Gotham in the wake of the catastrophic finale of The Batman.
