Fans of The Penguin may have to wait longer for answers. Recently, Emmy-winning actress Cristin Milioti shared a discouraging update about the future of The Penguin Season 2. According to her, there’s still no official confirmation from HBO. So far, HBO has not finalized any plans, even though Milioti is eager to return as Sofia Falcone.
Cristin Milioti Speaks Out on Potential Return
Speaking with Deadline, Milioti expressed her enthusiasm but confirmed uncertainty surrounding the series:
“Yeah, there’s no official word on anything. And I would love nothing more, truly.”

In fact, she earned an Emmy and cemented her character as a fan favorite. As a result, many viewers are eagerly awaiting her return, which has sparked discussions across social media platforms.
Co-Star Frustration Over Delay
Topher Grace co-stars with Milioti in the upcoming thriller Buddy. He also expressed frustration over the delay in renewing the show.
“Whoever’s in charge of making that decision, what are you doing? This is the greatest thing I have ever seen on [television]. We’ve got to have a season two.”
Grace’s comments highlight not only the cast’s anticipation but also the strong fan demand for another season. The delay has become a hot topic among DC fans, who are now anxiously waiting for official news from HBO.

Adding to the uncertainty, Milioti shut down rumors about appearing in The Batman: Part II, stating she is “definitively not in the film, which is a bummer.” While the series remains unannounced, Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb/The Penguin will reprise his role in Matt Reeves’ sequel, set to release on October 1, 2027.
