Max, the new streaming service by Warner Bros. Discovery, has released a first look at its upcoming Original Series, The Penguin. The series, which is set to debut in 2024, is an eight-episode drama that continues the epic crime saga of The Batman, originally introduced in the blockbuster film of the same name.

Starring Colin Farrell as The Penguin, the show follows the character’s story arc as introduced in the film. The first look footage and image were revealed exclusively during the unveiling of Max on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles, giving fans a taste of what to expect from the series.

The Penguin is executive produced by Matt Reeves, who directed The Batman, along with Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, and Lauren LeFranc. LeFranc also serves as the showrunner and writer for the series.
