The Penguin star Colin Farrell still doesn't know if season 2 will happen – but seemingly reveals The Batman 3 may be in the works

Colin Farrell is adamant that The Penguin season 2 isn't in the works (although HBO chief Casey Bloys doesn't necessarily agree…), but he may have just revealed a third The Batman is in the works.

"There’s literally not. If there was, and I was told to lie to you, I’d probably have to lie to you. But genuinely, no," Farrell told Variety when the publication asked about rumors of a second season. He's been nominated for Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series at this year's Emmys for his role as power-hungry mobster Oz Cobb, AKA Penguin, and the show received the most nominations of any limited series this year.

"Because the show went well, of course, there’s been rumblings about, 'Would we do a second season? What would that look like?'" he continued. "There is absolutely nothing in process. There’s Batman 2, which I haven’t read the script for yet. And then there’s Batman 3. I don’t know if I’m in them or what’s happening, but I’ll hopefully read Batman 2 soon."

"Right now, I think the priority for Matt is the movie. But I know that Lauren is thinking of various ideas that might work alongside the movie. I think it’s possible. I just don’t know at this point."
