The actor said in the official statement that he is "excited" to continue exploring the character of Oz "as he ascends the underworld to become The Penguin.

Matt Reeves will serve as producer along with Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Daniel Pipski, Adam Kassanand and Lauren LeFranc. The latter will serve as the series showrunner.
