Warner Bros. Discovery executives have unveiled the first look at “The Penguin,” the spin-off series focusing on Colin Farrell’s titular Gotham City gangster from the 2022 blockbuster film “The Batman.” The preview was part of the company’s presentation on Wednesday of its streaming service, Max, a combination of the HBO Max and Discovery+ services. Check out the teaser below.

“The Penguin,” which is currently in production, will run for eight episodes. Spoiler alert for that film: After Paul Dano’s the Riddler kills Carmine Falcone, one of Gotham City’s top mob bosses, he floods the major downtown area in a coordinated terrorist attack — leaving Farrell’s Cobblepot with a city in chaos and a power vacuum within Gotham’s underworld.

Farrel has officially signed on to star in and executive produce in the series spinoff of “The Batman” in which he would again play The Penguin. The series would reportedly delve into The Penguin’s rise to power in the Gotham criminal underworld.

Costarring with Farrell are Cristin Milioti (“Made for Love”) as Carmine’s daughter Sofia Falcone; Michael Zegen (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) as Carmine’s son Alberto Falcone; and Clancy Brown (“John Wick: Chapter 4”) as Salvatore Maroni, who used to be the top gangster in Gotham. They’re joined by Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, François Chau and David H. Holmes.

Lauren LeFranc is attached to write the script for the series. Along with Farrell, “The Batman” director Matt Reeves and the film’s producer Dylan Clark would executive produce the Penguin series under their 6th & Idaho and Dylan Clark Productions banners respectively. Warner Bros. Television would produce.
