Fans of HBO’s The Penguin have been eagerly awaiting news about a potential second season since the gripping finale of its debut run in November 2024. The crime drama, a spin-off from The Batman (2022), captivated audiences with Colin Farrell’s stellar performance as Oswald “Oz” Cobb and Cristin Milioti’s chilling portrayal of Sofia Falcone. But will we see more of Gotham’s criminal underworld? Here’s everything we know about the possibility of The Penguin Season 2.
Was The Penguin Meant to Be a Limited Series?
The Penguin was sold as a “limited series,” meaning it was meant to wrap up nice and tidy after eight episodes. It’s basically a bridge to The Batman Part II (coming October 2027, mark your calendar). That finale, with Oz running the show and the Bat-Signal lighting up, felt like a perfect ending, right? Like a killer crime novel you don’t mess with. But hold on—shows like The White Lotus got called “limited” too, then boom, more seasons. So, maybe there’s hope?
Will There Be a Season 2?
Right now, July 2025, The Penguin Season 2 is still just a maybe. HBO’s playing it cool, and the team’s taking their sweet time. With The Batman Part II dropping in 2027, we might not see more Penguin on TV until 2028—if it even happens. For now, Oz is set to feature in the movie.
The Batman Universe
The Penguin is part of Matt Reeves’ “Batman Epic Crime Saga,” a standalone universe. Reeves has teased other shows, like maybe a Catwoman series or something about Harvey Dent being a lawyer. So, even if The Penguin doesn’t get a Season 2, Gotham’s story might keep going elsewhere.
