Will The Penguin Season 2 happen? The eight-episode crime drama series, The Penguin, rose to popularity right after its release. The series left the viewers shocked with the intense nature of the storyline. Though the series was initially meant to have only eight episodes, as it is a limited series, it will not be the case anymore.

The Penguin saw immense success from the get-go. Besides record viewership, the series also gained numerous nominations for awards. Hence, in a recent interview, producer Matt Reeves opens up about a potential second season for the series.


Matt Reeves about The Penguin Season 2

24 Emmy nominations are definitely not a trifling matter. The first season of The Penguin received immense popularity. Hence, in a recent interview with Variety, Matt Reeves opened up about how the team is already brainstorming for The Penguin Season 2.

His words are a direct indication that the series will definitely be getting a second season, and rightfully so. The series ended with Oz on top of the crime game in Gotham. He also takes Vic’s life in a brutal manner, cementing his position as a crime boss. The series began as a side story about Oz or the Penguin’s descent into the world of crime, but now the series has become a massive hit.

Matt Reeves also opened up about how the team did not expect that the series would become such a success. There were several key factors that paved the way for the creation of The Penguin Season 2. Besides the massive success of the first season, the manner in which the series takes us viewers on a ride of Oz’s journey into the crime world, giving us a perfect combination of crime and ambition, truly leaves a lasting impact.

Hence, it would be truly devastating if the series were left at just the first season. This announcement of the creation of The Penguin Season 2 makes us viewers eager to know how the story will unfold in the following season. After the events of the first season, the second season might follow after the cliffhanger of Sophia’s situation. In the last season, we see that Sophia is back in Arkham. Now that Oz has reached a distinct position in the world of crime, it will be intriguing to see how the story continues in The Penguin Season 2.

When The Penguin Season 2 happens, it can be expected that Colin Farrell will be reprising his role along with the other main characters. Collin Farrell truly does a commendable job in bringing Oz’s character to life. From the physical aspect to the intense nature of Oz’s personality, each and every aspect of the character gets highlighted through Colin Farrell’s performance.

Oz’s ruthless climb up the ladder of power in the series keeps the viewers hooked. Matt Reeves is currently occupied completely with The Batman Part 2; hence, we won’t be getting the second season very soon. The wait will only ignite the anticipation for the series even further.

Matt Reeves’ confirmation about The Penguin Season 2 marks the beginning of the multitude of questions about the upcoming season. It is truly great news for all the fans who were eagerly waiting for a green light for Season 2, even though Season 2 was not in the cards to begin with. Colin Farrell himself is eager to reprise his role as Oz, aka the Penguin, as he said in an interview before The Penguin Season 2 was confirmed by Matt Reeves.
