The first episode of the Penguin series was watched by 10.4 million people in 11 days - the third best performance in HBO history

We wrote that the Penguin series was watched by 5.3 million people in 4 days. However, a little more time has passed, and at the same time, the second episode premiered, which raised the series' performance to a new level.

Here's What We Know

The first episode of the series gathered 10.4 million viewers during the premiere on 19 September. According to HBO, this figure is 11 days ahead of all other current HBO series in the same period of time, except for the two biggest ones: Dragon's Den and The Last of Us.

The second episode garnered 1.6 million viewers across all platforms on the day of the show, up 17% from the first night of the series' debut.

So, if the series doesn't lose any quality, we are looking forward to one of the best HBO series.

We remind you that Penguin is played by the unsurpassed Colin Farrell. The actor has already played the villain in Batman (2022).

The series begins immediately after the end of Batman and will show how Penguin expands his influence on Gotham and becomes an even greater criminal authority in the city.

Penguin will have 8 episodes. Lauren LeFranc is the writer and showrunner. Matt Reeves, the director of Batman, is the executive producer.
