‘The Penguin’ Picks Up Where ‘The Batman’ Left Off in New Teaser Trailer

The eight-episode Batman Saga series will premiere on MAX in September

No one living in Gotham City has ever known peace. In the latest teaser trailer for The Penguin, the eight-episode series premiering on MAX in September, Colin Farrell‘s Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot is hellbent on making sure they never will.

“I’m gonna tear down the empire from the inside out,” Oz promises in the clip, which picks up where 2022’s The Batman left off with the assassination of Carmine Falcone. The second teaser for the series also introduces Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone, the crime boss’ daughter who inherited his penchant for revenge.

“The family thinks I’m broken. I’m not broken,” Sofia declares. “I refuse to let these old men push me aside again. So I’m gonna take from them now. And I’m gonna force them to their knees.” In another scene, she tells Oz: “You know, Oz, people underestimate you, but not me. I’ve always known you were capable of more.”
