Colin Farrell Talks First Oscar Nom and Penguin TV Show: Listen - Variety

Next, he’s gearing up to reprise his role as Oz — a.k.a. the Penguin — for the spinoff television series to Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” which he starts shooting on Feb. 28.

“It’s going to be an eight-part thing,” Farrell tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “Around Oz’s rise to power, filling that power vacuum created when Falcone was killed. Matt’s idea was to have the Penguin show begin about a week after the end of the Batman film. And if it works, if the trajectory is interesting, and the audience goes for it, and we do our jobs right, the second Penguin feature will pick up where the HBO show will end.”
Shoot begins at the end of the month. Gotta be casting any moment now.

I could go for that, but none of the articles specifying his role, when they were upfront about Milioti being Sofia, seems like a red flag that he’ll probably be an original character like Colson.
 
Looks like Zobel may have been upgraded to directing the first 3 episodes as opposed to just the first 2.
Production on “The Penguin” is set to begin this month in New York. The series is executive produced by Farrell, Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Lauren LeFranc (who writes and serves as showrunner), Craig Zobel (who directs the first three episodes) and Bill Carraro. “The Penguin” comes from Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with warner Bros. Television.
