She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant. Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it.

HBO's critically acclaimed Batman spinoff The Penguin could still get a second season, as Colin Farrell has shared an encouraging update about potentially returning for another chapter. The actor, who portrays the iconic Gotham City mobster, the Penguin, also known as Oswald Cobblepot, explained in a recent interview with the talk show This Morning that he is interested in revisiting the character. During the discussion, the actor was asked whether he would be interested in returning for another season of the HBO crime drama. Farrell made it clear that while there are currently no official plans for The Penguin season 2, he believes that the idea would be worth considering and that he would love to reprise his role. Colin Farrell: I’d love to. I’d love to do a second season. There’s definitely a conversation to be had about doing a second season. Although Farrell's comments offer a little bit of hope for audiences, they should be taken as an official confirmation that The Penguin season 2 is actually moving forward. HBO has not announced any plans to renew The Penguin, and there has been no news regarding anything being in development at the time of this article's publication. Farrell's statement comes at a very rocky time for DC Studios, which is currently going through a major leadership transition. On November 9, 2026, Skydance announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran would step down as co-CEOs. Meanwhile, former Marvel Studios executive Jeremy Latcham will take on the role of president and chief creative officer beginning on December 1, 2026. More to come...
