"The Batman” director Matt Reeves and the movie’s producer Dylan Clark would executive produce the Penguin series under their 6th & Idaho and Dylan Clark Productions banners respectively.

Warner Bros. Television is set to produce the series which will be scripted by Lauren LeFranc.

Farrell recently starred in the BBC and AMC Plus drama “The North Water” and wrapped shooting on “The Banshees of Inisherin”, which reunited him with “In Bruges” writer-director Martin McDonough and co-star Brendan Gleeson.

Oswald Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, is one of the most famous members of the Batman Rogues Gallery, recognizable by his top hat, monocle, and a wide variety of deadly umbrellas.

The Penguin first appeared in Detective Comics #58 issued by December 1941 in the American comic books published by DC Comics.
