The Penguin is now fully underway as we near the halfway point of The Batman spin-off show. Following Colin Farrell's gangster Oz Cobb in his attempts to claim power in Gotham City, it's been quite a journey so far that has featured betrayal after betrayal.

That's because it's not just Oz who is making a move in the criminal underworld. Carmine Falcone's daughter Sofia Falcone, played brilliantly by Cristin Milioti, is also proving to be a force of nature having been recently released from Arkham Asylum (where she was serving a sentence as serial killer the Hangman).

There's plenty more excitement to come then so we've got everything you need to know about The Penguin release schedule below, breaking down all the dates and times for each entry, including the upcoming fourth episode. And that's for both on TV and on streaming, for the UK and the US.

The Penguin episode 4 release date is October 13, 2024, at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific in the US and 2am BST on October 14 in the UK.

Although the season premiere aired on a Thursday, it's worth noting that the rest of the episodes will be released every Sunday (and, therefore, Monday across the pond) – but more on that below.
