“The Penguin,” which is currently in production, will run for eight episodes. Spoiler alert for that film: After Paul Dano’s the Riddler kills Carmine Falcone, one of Gotham City’s top mob bosses, he floods the major downtown area in a coordinated terrorist attack — leaving Farrell’s Cobblepot with a city in chaos and a power vacuum within Gotham’s underworld.
They’re joined by Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, François Chau and David H. Holmes.
Lauren LeFranc (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) is the executive producer and showrunner of the series, with “The Batman” writer-director Matt Reeves executive producing through his production company 6th & Idaho.
Executive producer Craig Zobel (“Mare of Easttown”) is directing the first three episodes.
Other exec producers include Farrell, Dylan Clark, Daniel Pipski and Bill Carraro. Ravi Crohn is co-executive producing, and Warner Bros. Television is the studio.
