The Penguin Breakout Cristina Milioti Shuts Down The Batman 2 Rumors — No Sofia Falcone in the Sequel
Penguin season 2 is still up in the air — and one of its stars won't appear in The Batman 2.
I know I was not the only one glued to Cristin Milioti in The Penguin. Her Sofia Falcone blew in like a hurricane and somehow stole scenes in a show already stacked with scene-stealers. So here’s the annoying part: even she has no clue if we’re getting The Penguin season 2, and she’s definitely not popping up in The Batman Part II.
So... is The Penguin getting a season 2?
Milioti told Topher Grace in a Deadline chat that there’s nothing official to report. Her exact words:
"There’s no official word on anything. I would love nothing more, truly... I hope. Fingers crossed."
That’s the state of it. The show was a hit with critics and fans, but the greenlight gods have not spoken.
Why everyone latched onto Sofia Falcone
Milioti didn’t just chew scenery; she brought a clear, furious sense of purpose to a character who’s technically the villain but feels uncomfortably easy to root for. Awards bodies noticed too: beyond a pile of nominations, she walked away with wins at the Primetime Emmys and the Critics Choice Awards. If you told me she’s one of the best characters to come out of this Batman corner in years, I wouldn’t argue.
About The Batman Part II (and why you won’t see Sofia there)
Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb/The Penguin is part of The Batman Part II, which is dated for 2027. Milioti, however, says Sofia Falcone is "definitively not in the film, which is a bummer." And yeah, that stings. The character felt tailor-made to keep causing problems across Gotham.
The franchise calendar math, explained
Here’s where the timeline gets funky. DC Studios is building its own DC Universe with a separate continuity from The Batman movies. Co-CEO James Gunn recently confirmed their take on Batman won’t show up until after the Robert Pattinson-led sequel lands in 2027. Translation: don’t expect big moves or clarity on Penguin-related TV until that movie is out of the way. Fans want season 2, loudly, but the updates probably won’t come anytime soon.
- Status check: The Penguin season 2 is not confirmed.
- Milioti wants back in, but has heard nothing official.
- Sofia Falcone is not in The Batman Part II.
- Colin Farrell’s Penguin is in the 2027 sequel.
- DC’s new Universe is separate from The Batman movies.
- James Gunn says their Batman arrives only after Pattinson’s next film.
- Realistically, expect Penguin season 2 news (if it happens) after The Batman Part II.
Until then, we wait. The Batman Part II hits in 2027, and DC’s got a lot of film and TV in the pipeline — the trick will be how all these pieces finally click together.
