The production will consist of eight episodes and is being created by Warner Bros Television and DC Studios. One of the executive producers is Matt Reeves.

Though little is known about the plot penguinColin Farrell explained that the series will focus on the power struggle among Gotham’s criminals. The main character will want to take advantage of the chance and fill the void left by Carmine Falcone’s death. However, it soon turns out that he is not the only one with such plans.

Matt’s idea [Reevesa, przyp. red] is that the series o Penguins began a week after the events of Batman. If it works and is interesting for viewers, Batman 2 will start when the story of the series ends.
