The Penguin has temporary halted production amid the WGA writers' strike.
Per Deadline, The Batman spinoff series was set to film Tuesday in Westchester, NY, but WGA East picketers, Teamsters, and local guilds refused to cross the picket line.
The show is said to explore Penguin's journey to holding power in Gotham's underworld. Colin Farrell reprises his role from the Matt Reeves film, with Cristin Milioti is set to play Sofia Falcone, daughter of crime boss Carmine Falcone (played by John Turturro in the film).
"It starts a week after The Batman ends, so Gotham is still somewhat underwater," Farrell previously told Extra, referring to The Batman’s third act that saw Paul Dano’s Riddler instigate a plan to flood Gotham.
