Overview

• LeFranc signed a two-year overall deal with HBO and HBO Max and will produce through her newly formed Acid and Tender Productions.
• Her series The Penguin drew strong acclaim after its September 2024 debut and earned 24 Emmy nominations, second only to Severance this year.
• The Penguin was conceived as an eight-episode limited series set between The Batman and The Batman Part II.
• HBO chief Casey Bloys said a second season is definitely possible, though the priority remains Matt Reeves’ work on The Batman Part II.
• Reeves and LeFranc have discussed ideas for another chapter, which would likely wait until after the film sequel’s production, and Colin Farrell has said he is open to returning if it fits Reeves’ vision.
