The Batman - Part II, which is the second film in Robert Pattinson's Dark Knight trilogy, has a theatrical release of October 2, 2026.
Speaking recently about returning to the streets of Gotham for the small screen, Farrell said: "The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot.
"I couldn't be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin. [It] will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem."
The Penguin will premiere on Max in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK in late 2024.
