Colin Farrell Sets One Condition To Do ‘The Penguin’ Season 2

Farrell isn’t done with ‘The Penguin.’

Colin Farrell has one request for ‘The Penguin’ season 2.

“If there’s a great idea [for season two], and the writing was really muscular and as strong or stronger on the page than it was the first season, of course, I would do it,” the actor recently told The Hollywood Reporter.

‘The Penguin’ followed Oz Cobb’s rise to power over eight episodes. The show was meant to be a one-time series connecting ‘The Batman’ to its sequel, ‘The Batman Part II.’ However, due to its success, creator Matt Reeves and showrunner Lauren LeFranc are now in talks with HBO to continue the series.

“Colin is a really beautiful, empathic person,” Reeves previously told The Hollywood Reporter. “And so to live in that darkness, and then on top of that, to have all that latex put on day after day, I know that as much as he loved the role, it was also a kind of hell at the same time.”

“I don’t know, man,” Farrell said in September on a possible second season. “Don’t get me wrong — I loved it — but it got in on me a little bit. By the end of it, I was bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I f*cking wanted it to be finished. I tried to remind them that I had ‘grumpy gratitude.'”

The actor added, “I was still grateful, and still honored – I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [in the ’60s ‘Batman’ TV series], and then Danny DeVito [in 1992’s ‘Batman Returns’] was my Penguin – so being a part of the lineage of that storytelling, I really did feel privileged. But by the end of it…”

The process of turning Farrell into ‘The Penguin’ took hours every day during filming. He wore prosthetics on his face and teeth, and a separate team worked on his eyebrows, sending them from L.A. Because of this, Farrell felt he didn’t have much control over the character.

The show premiered on September 19 and ran for eight episodes until November 10. Farrell will also return as Oz Cobblepot in Matt Reeves’ upcoming ‘The Batman – Part II.’
