The series will consist of eight episodes. Check out the teaser below:

‘The Penguin’ is overseen by Lauren LeFranc, who worked on ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, with Matt Reeves, known for ‘The Batman,’ also serving as an executive producer through his company 6th & Idaho. Craig Zobel, recognized for ‘Mare of Easttown,’ directs the first three episodes. Additional executive producers include Farrell, Dylan Clark, Daniel Pipski, and Bill Carraro, with Ravi Crohn as co-executive producer.
