Why Did It End? This show is intended as an eight-episode mini-series to expand on the universe of The Batman, but it performed very well in viewership for the streaming service. Variety recently asked HBO Max boss Casey Bloys about the possibility of a second season of The Penguin, and following is his response:
Could another chapter be in the future? Definitely possible. Right now, I think the priority for Matt is the movie. But I know that Lauren is thinking of various ideas that might work alongside the movie. I think it’s possible. I just don’t know at this point.
Colin Farrell previously indicated that he did not want to return to the role, but I’m sure he could be swayed by the right amount of money. And if the show did come back for a second season, it would likely move to HBO since most of that company’s premium content is shifting to that platform.
