Who will rule the seedy underbelly of Gotham City? Which rogue will step out of the shadows to lay claim to the vast criminal enterprise once owned by Carmine Falcone? If Oswald Cobblepot has anything to say about it, it will be himself. That’s the premise of “The Penguin,” the new limited series premiering on Max on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 9 p.m. ET. If Oz succeeds, no one will dare to call him by the nickname “Penguin” again… at least not to his face. Watch the show with a Subscription to Max.

About ‘The Penguin’
“The Penguin” picks up around six weeks after the events of “The Batman,” and shows the aftermath of the death of one of the city’s most powerful criminals: Carmine Falcone, who was shot by The Riddler. Someone has to close an iron fist around Falcone’s operations or risk watching the many lucrative businesses in his criminal empire slip away.
Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot has his eye on the prize, but his plans are thrown into chaos by the return of Carmine’s daughter Sofia. Fresh out of prison, the psychopathic Sofia isn’t afraid to kill, torture or maim anyone who stands in the way of what she considers her birthright. But Oz has come too far to back down now, and a collision between the two could envelop the entire city in flames.
What Other DC Titles Are Available on Max?
If live-action television series based in the DC Comics universe is what you’re looking for, Max is the streamer for you. It carries titles that are no longer producing new episodes such as “Titans” and “Gotham,” shows that are continuing such as “Peacemaker,” and movies like “The Batman” in case you want to catch up by watching that film before diving into “The Penguin.”
Max offers three distinct plans: an ad-supported option for $9.99 per month, an ad-free subscription for $16.99, or the Ultimate plan for $20.99, which includes the ability to download up to 100 titles for offline viewing and watch select titles in 4K. Prime Video customers who sign up for Max through the Prime Video Channels hub can get a seven-day free trial of the service.
