The Penguin release schedule: When is episode 3 out?

Episode 2 saw the arrival of Scott Cohen's Luca Falcone, the uncle of Sofia (Cristin Milioti) - but what will this mean for her, or for Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb?

The stellar cast of the series also includes Clancy Brown, Rhenzy Feliz and Michael Kelly, and the show charts the events following the death of Carmine Falcone (now played by Mark Strong).

It kicked off with the death of Carmine's son Alberto (Michael Zegen), as Oz made his first big move, killing him somewhat unintentionally in a fit of rage.

But when can fans expect the third episode of the season to be released, and what is the schedule for the rest of the eight-part limited series?

Read on for everything you need to know about the release schedule for The Penguin.

The Penguin episode 3 release date

The Penguin episode 3 will air on Sunday 6th October in the US and on Monday 7th October in the UK.

Fans may have noticed that there was quite the break between episode 1 and 2 - 10 days, in fact.

However, from episode 3 the schedule will return to weekly releases, with episodes coming out on Mondays.

While details are slightly thin on the ground about episode 3, we do know that it's titled Bliss. It's directed by Craig Zobel and written by Noelle Valdivia.

What is The Penguin about?

The Penguin has reunited fans of The Batman with Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb, AKA the Penguin.

The series will dig deeper into Gotham’s criminal underworld, as Oz tries to become the biggest player in the game.

The show will also see Oz go up against Cristin Milioti's Sofia Falcone, the daughter of Carmine, who has been newly released from Arkham Asylum.

Farrell previously teased of the show, when he finished filming: "It’s dark, The Penguin. It’s so dark. I’m so glad to be done with it, and I loved it, but man I was ready not to sit in the makeup chair anymore when we finished.

"I loved doing the character in the film and this really did get to look, as they say in America, under the hood."
