There’s been a lot going on inside the walls of DC Studios in the last few months. The studio is doing a massive overhaul of its mainstream cinematic universe. But if you are a fan of recent independent DC projects such as ‘Joker’ and ‘The Batman’ movie, don’t worry; sequels are coming for them as well. Apart from the upcoming sequel, Matt Reeves’ Batverse will also spawn a spin-off limited series ‘The Penguin.’

Colin Farrell debuted in ‘The Batman’ as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, better known as the crime lord and one of Caped Crusader’s most known enemies — The Penguin. Matt Reeves’ movie depicted the Penguin as Carmine Falcone’s chief lieutenant who operates the Iceberg Lounge nightclub. This incarnation of the Penguin still isn’t a notorious crime lord as he’s usually depicted in the source material, but the upcoming spin-off series will show us Cobblepot’s rise to power in Gotham’s criminal underworld.

‘The Penguin’ won’t be suitable for all audiences!

‘The Penguin’ is in development for Warner Bros. Discovery’s official streaming service known as Max (previously known as HBOMax). The series has been announced to premiere in 2024, even though the production has recently been paused due to the ongoing WGA strike. This isn’t the first time it’s been paused, but this time it’s said that the production won’t continue until the strike is resolved.

Still, according to Max’s official page for the upcoming series, the premiere date is still set for 2024, and additionally, the official rating of the series is listed as TV-MA. TV-MA is TV programming’s equivalent for the movie’s R rating, which means the upcoming series will be suitable only for mature audiences. The majority of the most-known shows that were developed for HBO and Max are rated TV-MA, including ‘Peacemaker,’ ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Chernobyl,’ ‘Succession,’ ‘The Idol,’ etc.

The first look for ‘The Penguin’ has been previously revealed, and the fans are excited because the series is giving some “Sopranos meets Gotham” vibe. Apart from Farrell in the title role, the series is also starring Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, and Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone. Lauren LeFranc serves as the creator and head writer, while ‘The Batman’ director Matt Reeves serves as the executive producer.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
