Milioti’s Comments During Sundance Film Festival
While promoting her new horror-comedy film, Buddy, alongside co-star Topher Grace at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, Milioti addressed questions about The Penguin’s future. She said,
“Yeah, there’s no official word on anything,”
and added,
I would love nothing more, truly.
Expressing frustration with the delay, Milioti asked,
“Whoever’s in charge of making that decision, what are you doing?”
Topher Grace also weighed in, sharing his enthusiasm for the series:
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen on [television],
and urging,
We’ve got to have a season two.
Milioti Reflects on Her Character Sofia Falcone
In the first season, Milioti portrayed Sofia Falcone, a role that sparked considerable interest. Previously, she discussed the character’s potential in an interview with IndieWire, highlighting various directions the story could take. Milioti said,
“It just seemed like there are infinite possibilities of where she could go,”
and expressed a desire to see Sofia leave Arkham and seek revenge, confirming,
“Obviously, I would want to see her get out of Arkham. That’s like number one. I don’t want her in there. So I want to see her get out there, and then exact revenge,”
showing her strong interest in continuing the character’s arc.
Implications for the Series and Fans
The absence of an official announcement on a second season puts uncertainty over The Penguin’s continuation, despite critical acclaim and Milioti’s outspoken wish to see more. Fans of the show and the character Sofia Falcone may have to wait longer for any confirmation. The frustration voiced by both the cast and audience underscores the anticipation still surrounding the series, which remains a notable addition to the superhero television landscape. Future updates will determine whether The Penguin will return or remain a single-season story.
