The successful series, which was developed by Lauren LeFranc and produced by Reeves, is set two weeks after the end of The Batman, in which Cobb plays the Falcone and Maroni families off against each other in a power grab following the death of mob leader Carmine Falcone.

John Turturro said he decided not to return as Carmine Falcone in "The Penguin" as there's "a lot of violence towards women, and that's not my thing."
