Lauren Lefranc knows she's shocking in HBO's finale penguin – But that's not the point. What she didn't know (more than you) was whether her Emmy nominated series (24 NOM!) would have a second season.
Either way, Levrank didn't return to Gotham City until Robert Pattinson returned to Matt Reeves. Batman Part Two. If you haven't heard of it, the entire DC Universe plan has been made now.
Performers and executive producers with thr About voters and fans will have to wait for season 2 and perform Batman without Batman.
I know penguin It premiered in September, but it seems like it has been several years.
I know, this is strange. It's fun because I do feel it took a long time to shoot it too. With the shutdown of the strike, we started winter and then when we came back, we entered winter again. So we have two seats penguinso time is really slow. But honestly, I know how rare it is to be recognized in this way, so it's really adorable to see so many people and crew in our cast have been recognized in the story. That is indeed the most satisfying thing. So, even if we have been nearly a year since our premiere, it is indeed an honor.
What is the status of the second season?
I have no idea. No current status update. I think Matt just got on his script (because Batman Part Two), so I'm glad to read and learn what this is soon – if there's something worth it for Season 2 [of The Penguin] Or no. I think we've said this before, but I do mean it: we have to have confidence that we can reach the top on our own, which is very important to Colin Farrell and me, especially; otherwise, if not great, we don't want to do something more. We always intend to be a limited series. So, moving to the second season is just a different one – it's not something we've really talked about.
And you can't return Batman Part Two In any case, it has been postponed to 2027.
Correct. The purpose of our first season was always that we would launch Oz into the second film, so we wouldn't be able to air season 2 until Matt's movie was released.
You are not involved in the film – is the main reason for performing in any way “less than” is to serve the film?
Interestingly. I know I'm technically a bridge, but I'm not-that's not my opinion, nor is my acting feeling or thought. To me, it's like the Gotham universe I built in the movie. I showed you different aspects of it, I showed you different characters and viewed Gotham as a city through different lenses. Our show is very movie, and it's another form of storytelling. TV is long-term storytelling, so it provides us with more time. We made eight episodes and we had to spend more time with our characters and really dig into who they are and what they fear. We can slowly untie them, and we allow different revelations and moments of your deepening of these characters’ understanding, which is really hard to do in a few hours in the movie. But that's what Matt did in the first movie, and I'm sure the second one is too. They are just different mediums, so that's what I think. But I don't have “less” than TV shows.
Robert Pattinson once approached penguin Season 1?
Matt and I talked a lot. It's just that there is no need. It feels like we have Batman wiggling him on the show, and in fact, I feel like my goal is to at least create characters rich enough, convincing characters that you don't desperately want to see him, I know it's a high command because a lot of people love Batman and Rob Pattinson is as good as Batman. But yes, we are doing something different. We went through the scenes of the Wizard of Oz. We were on the street. There is a gang war going on. We always say, “Batman looked high at Gotham, Oz was in the mud, wanting to stand up and get some strength.” So, yes, we talked about it, but to be honest, we just don’t want to interfere with our story.
If we get one, will he appear in season 2?
I mean, there isn't even a season now. So I don't know anything about it.

exist penguinSofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) received a letter from Selina Kyle, who we know is Catwoman (a movie played by Zoë Kravitz). If there is a second season, is that letter a signal to Catwoman?
From my point of view, the whole season is about Sofia’s emotional arc, which is about the fact that her family betrayed her. She was trying to reach out. She was trying to figure herself out in this family and eventually realized she was lonely. And, obviously, she then murdered most of them, but she encountered this tension, this pain mixed together. She went to see her little cousin Gia, who was in the child’s home, which in many ways reminiscent of Arkham shelter. She left her there because that was what Sofia would do. So you understand that she is a character and she has a lot of complex feelings about family and any kind of mother or disagree. So, by the end – when the Wizard of Oz offers win, he takes her back to Arkham and sentences to a deeper form of hell – she is now alone, she is lost, it's heartbreaking, it's important to me to give her a charm of hope.
Selina Kyle Batman Already known – they are half sisters. What was built in Matt's movie is that Selina Kyle is the illegal daughter of Carmine Falcone, right? And we know Sofia is also Carmine's daughter, so it's “maybe you have family here, maybe there's a little hope for you.” That's the intention of that letter.
I remember everyone in Fox Gotham The common question is: “How can you hold a Batman show without Batman?” But I think penguin This is exactly how you can host a Batman show without Batman.
Thank you for saying that. We know we won't be the show we throw in the kitchen sink. This is not necessary. Obviously, we settled in Gotham City, but we do consider ourselves a crime drama, a character drama. So when you take things out of your personality position and psychological identity, and what they are trying to do, you are not born with the idea: “Can we throw it here? More about it: “Who are these people? What do they want? How do they interact with each other? How do we surprise the audience? “We focus more on dramatic storytelling and delve deeper into the characters.
There is a version penguin You didn't kill Vic (Rhenzy Feliz)?
No. Before I had a writer’s room, I figured out the backstory of each character and their entire emotional arc. So, part of my HBO is always: “The winner ends up dying Oz's hand. It's slow, intimate and painful.” That's always intent.
