The exclusive footage from Max’s ‘The Penguin‘ series was recently screened at a press event. Journalist @rendy_jones, who had the opportunity to view the footage, described it as “a classic noir.“
He said, “The Penguin looks so fu***** rad. like a classic noir and Farrell getting to shine while Cristin Milioti looks like a terrifying big bad in Sofia Falcone.”
‘The Penguin’ series revolves around the rise to power of Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot/Penguin (played by Colin Farrell) in Gotham City’s criminal underworld. Produced by 6th & Idaho, DC Studios, and Dylan Clark Productions in collaboration with Warner Bros. Television Studios, the series is led by showrunner Lauren LeFranc. (See set images).
