Colin Farrell will be back as the number one “Gentleman of Crime'' in the upcoming HBO Max TV series, The Penguin. The series is a spin-off of Matt Reeves’ The Batman and will be centered on exploring Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot a.k.a the Penguin’s rise to power in the criminal underworld of Gotham city. While the entire cast of the series is not yet known, it was recently revealed that Michael Zegen, James Madio and Scott Cohen have been cast to play recurring roles for the series.

Although their roles have not been revealed, it is being speculated that Michael Zegen might play Alberto Falcone, who took credit for being the serial killer ‘Holiday Killer’ in the comic run Batman: The Long Halloween (1996–97). He is the son of the criminal kingpin, Carmine Falcone (played by John Turturro) and the brother of Sofia Falcone. While it is not known if John Turturro will reprise his role in the upcoming series, Cristin Milioti has been confirmed to play Sofia.

The last we saw the Penguin, toward the end of The Batman, he had survived the flooding of Gotham City. We hope that the series will be as epic as Batman and Penguin’s car chase sequence in the movie!

The series, which will premiere on HBO Max, is set to consist of eight episodes and will continue the plot of the movie.
