HBO debuted the first episode of The Penguin miniseries, starring Colin Farrell. The HBO Original series is a spinoff of 2022’s The Batman and instead of focusing on Batman (aka the Dark Knight), The Penguin will show the underbelly of Gotham City. Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Carmen Ejogo and Theo Rossi also star alongside Farrell in the series.

HBO had previously released the trailer for the miniseries, in which Farrell plays “The Penguin,” otherwise known as Oz, who is hungry for power in Gotham city. An official synopsis reads:  “Oz must confront his enemies, including Carmine’s children, Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) and Alberto Falcone (Michael Zegen); the Maroni family, led by their imprisoned patriarch, Salvatore Maroni (Clancy Brown); and Oz’s own demoralizing reputation as ‘The Penguin.”

The first of the eight-episodes premiered on Sept. 19, and can be streamed on MAX. Each new episode of The Penguin will debut on Sundays at 9 p.m. with Episode 2 airing Sunday, September 29th.
