The Batman spin-off The Penguin lands UK release date

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for comic book adaptations and a deep-rooted love for Gotham City, I can hardly contain my excitement over the upcoming series “The Penguin”. Having grown up watching the Dark Knight’s adventures unfold on the silver screen, seeing Colin Farrell return as Oswald Cobb in this spin-off promises an intriguing continuation of the saga.


The Batman spin-off series The Penguin has landed a release date in the UK.

As an eager admirer, I can’t contain my excitement for the forthcoming HBO series where Colin Farrell once again embodies the legendary antagonist. This enthralling tale unfolds post the 2022 film, focusing on Oswald Cobb’s ascent through the treacherous ranks of Gotham’s criminal underworld.

Following the confirmation of its broadcast on Sky Atlantic and NOW within the United Kingdom, the release date for the show has been set as September 20 (Friday), which is a day following its initial airing in the US.

In a recent discussion, Sky’s Head of Acquiring and Strategic Projects, Lucy Criddle, expressed that “The Penguin” is a remarkable enhancement to our expanding collection of comic movies and shows.

Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of Gotham City, the tale unfolds in the grand tradition of The Batman’s crime saga, and I can hardly wait to witness how Farrell will elevate this legendary character in this eight-episode dramatic miniseries.

The upcoming show will feature Cristin Milioti from “How I Met Your Mother” as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown known for “Dexter: New Blood” as Salvatore Maroni, Michael Zegen of “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” as Alberto Falcone, and Michael Kelly who was in “House of Cards” as Johnny Vitti.

Previously discussing the show, Farrell expressed: “Matt Reeves’ world in The Batman calls for a more detailed exploration as seen through the perspective of Oswald Cobblepot.”

I am absolutely thrilled about delving deeper into the journey of Oz, transforming from the shadows into The Penguin. It’s going to be great to see him back on the chaotic streets of Gotham City, stirring up a bit of chaos and trouble.

Meanwhile, in updates, actor Andy Serkis from The Batman has shared some insights regarding the anticipated release date of its sequel. He hinted that we might not see it before the middle of 2026.

As a gaming enthusiast, here I am, excitedly sharing some news! I’ve just learned that we might be kicking off the filming of this upcoming movie early next year. That means, if my calculations are correct, we’re looking at about a year and a half from then before it hits the silver screen. Can’t wait to see it unfold on the big screen!

The Penguin will debut on Max in the US on September 19, and NOW and Sky Atlantic in the UK on September 20.
