When a show has the kind ofsuccess thatThe Penguinhas had , a 2d season is all but assured . But there ’s something dissimilar in the waters of Gotham City and the show ’s star , Colin Farrell , isn’t so certain that ’s a in effect idea .
Before its release , no one could have judge HBO’sThe Penguinwould have the amount of success it has . Somehow , a superhero show without superheroes , about the rise of Batman ’s third or fourth - safe villain , was not only adoredby critic and lover likewise , it ’s gone on to do incredibly well during accolade season . Lead actors Farrell and Cristin Milioti have bring home the bacon multiple awards , as has the show itself . expert imagine it ’ll be a big thespian at the upcoming Emmys . All of which would hint , of course of action , a 2d season . But not so fast .
“ I don’tnotwant it , ” Farrelltold Varietyat the Screen Actors Guild Awards this weekend , where he won Best Actor in a circumscribed series for the DC show . “ We all left it in the annulus in those eight hours . I would detest to , just because of a quote - unquote success , have to go again and for it to be a diluted variant of what the great unwashed seem to feel it is , majoritively . So I ’m in no rush . I have no deep desire to do it … Sure , if they think of something that works in conjunction as a parallel to Matt Reeves ’ cinematic universe and it ’s a proficient estimate , I ’m open it . But it ’s not something concern me . ”

The story ofThe Penguinfits in perfectly with the last of Reeves ’ 2022 film , The Batman , and reportedly leads mightily into the events of his 2027 photographic film , The Batman Part II , which Farrell is confirm to appear in . So even if a 2nd time of year ofThe Penguindid start to marinate , it would almost for sure have to come after the movie . So Farrell ’s sentiment makes sentience here . Do n’t race it . Make the movie . Let the show stand as the marvellous accomplishment it was . Then , maybe afterwards , he can put the wooing back on .
