The Penguin Season 2 Update Is Not What Batman Fans Want to Hear

The latest update on a potential The Penguin Season 2 isn’t great news for fans of The Batman.

DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Batman movie was released in 2022. Directed by Matt Reeves, it stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, while Zoë Kravitz and Colin Farrell star as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Oz/The Penguin.

Reeves and Mattson Tomlin recently turned in their script for The Batman 2, also known as The Batman Part II, which is expected to arrive in October 2027. And, according to The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc, it won’t be decided if the spin-off series is continuing until after more people get a chance to read The Batman 2 script.

What is the latest update on The Penguin Season 2?

When asked what the current status of HBO Max‘s The Penguin Season 2 is by The Hollywood Reporter, LeFranc said, “I don’t know. There’s no current status update. I think Matt just turned in his script [for The Batman Part II], so I’m excited to read that soon and see what comes of that — if there is anything there that merits a second season [of The Penguin] or not.

“I think we’ve said this before, but I truly mean it: We have to feel confident we can top ourselves, and that’s something that’s really important to Colin Farrell and me, especially; otherwise, we don’t want to do something again if it’s not going to be excellent. We were always meant to be a limited series. So, pivoting to a second season is just different — it’s not something we ever really talked about.”

LeFranc further said, “The intention of our first season always was, we’re launching Oz into the second film, and so we couldn’t air a second season until after Matt’s movie comes out.”

The Batman 2 arrives on October 1, 2027.
