The Penguin showrunner says there won't be a season 2 till after The Batman 2, if ever: "The intention of our first season always was, we’re launching Oz into the second film"

The idea of a second season of HBO Max's hit streaming series The Penguin has been a hot button topic since the show premiered in 2024. Though fans are hungry for it, The Penguin showrunner Lauren LaFranc says that if a second season is ever going to happen, it'll have to wait till after Oz Cobb appears in 2027's The Batman Part 2 (via The Hollywood Reporter).

"I don't know. There's no current status update. I think Matt just turned in his script (for The Batman Part II), so I'm excited to read that soon and see what comes of that - if there is anything there that merits a second season [of The Penguin] or not," LeFranc tells THR.
