According to a report from Deadline, an HBO Max series focused on the Penguin is in the early stages of development and is being executive produced by Dylan Clark and Matt Reeves. Lauren LeFranc is set to be showrunner for the project.
Not much is known about this Penguin series except that it is described as “Scarface-like” and will follow the rise of the Penguin, also known as Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.
