"The Penguin," an upcoming 8-episode limited crime drama series on Max, is one of two confirmed spin-offs of Matt Reeves' 2022 film "The Batman."
Colin Farrell reprises his role as the infamous Gotham City gangster Oz Cobb, who aims to establish himself as the criminal kingpin after the death of Carmine Falcone.
The series explores Cobb's rise to power in the Gotham underworld. Falcone's living children, Alberto and Sofia, add intrigue to the storyline.
The series is set immediately after the events of "The Batman," exploring the aftermath of the cataclysmic ending, with the sea wall explosion by Riddler flooding parts of Gotham City, creating chaos in the criminal underworld.
The series also features an ensemble cast including Carmen Ejogo as a new DC villain, Eve Karlo, and others like Michael Kelly and Shohreh Aghdashloo.
