DC fans have had one of the most eventful weeks of the year, first with the trailer release of the new Superman movie and now with the announcement of season 2 of The Penguin being in development. The Batman director Matt Reeves just announced on December 18, 2024, that Season 2 of the popular spinoff sequel to the 2022 film is in the works, which has left fans of the mini-series giggling with excitement.
In an interview with Zoë Kravitz, Reeves mentioned being in talks with producer Lauren LeFranc about doing another season for The Penguin. He answered Kravitz's question with:
" Yeah, we’re talking to [showrunner] Lauren [LeFranc] about doing another season. That was a special experience. I just feel really fortunate. These characters don’t belong to me; they belong to the world. It comes down to whether you can approach them in a way that expresses something personal."
The second season will feature Colin Farrell playing the titular role once again. After Season 1 received critical acclaim, with a large number of viewers tuning in for the season finale that aired in November this year, fans can't help but wonder what's next in store for the universe.
