Colin Farrell Addresses Whether The Penguin Season 2 Will Happen

DC star Colin Farrell opens up about whether The Penguin season 2 has any chance of happening. While the world waits for The Batman - Part II, Matt Reeves is expanding his franchise to the small screen with The Penguin TV show, focusing on Oz Cobb after the events of the first film. This will be the first time a Batman villain is the main character of his own DC show, allowing Penguin to get a whole new spotlight on him.
In a new interview with TotalFilm (via GamesRadar), Farrell was asked if he thinks The Penguin season 2 is a possibility. While he loved the experience of expanding his character in Reeves' universe, Farrell isn't entirely sure if he would be game for The Penguin season 2, sharing the following:

I don’t know, man. Don't get me wrong – I loved it – but it got in on me a little bit. By the end of it, I was bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I f-----g wanted it to be finished. I tried to remind them that I had 'grumpy gratitude.' I was still grateful, and still honored – I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [who played the role in the '60s TV series], and then Danny DeVito [in Tim Burton's 1992 film Batman Returns] was my Penguin – so being a part of the lineage of that storytelling, I really did feel privileged. But by the end of it…It's not like I didn't know who I was and I was going out and burning cars and s--t, but… if you take what Matt Reeves created and then what Lauren [LeFranc, showrunner] did and what Mike [Marino, prosthetics and make-up designer] did and put them all together, it was a really powerful experience.

Why The Penguin Doesn't Need A Season 2 Close Even though The Penguin has yet to premiere, the notion of seeing HBO renew it for season 2 feels premature, to say the least. Some stories simply don't need to be expanded to more than a season, especially since Farrell is confirmed to be next seen as The Penguin in The Batman - Part II. If The Penguin season 2 were to happen, it would only leave the audience having to wait an extensive amount of time since The Batman - Part II is set to start filming early next year.
