It Starts On The Page (Limited): Read ‘The Penguin’ Finale Script “A Great Or Little Thing” With Foreword By Lauren LeFranc
'The Penguin' showrunner Lauren LeFranc talks about writing the finale. Part of a franchise featuring scripts of top Emmy contenders.
Oz then managed to get his nemesis Sofia (Cristin Milioti) committed back to Arkham in the episode, titled “A Great or Little Thing,” written by LeFranc and directed by Jennifer Getzinger. She also talks about how she, a half-Mexican woman, got to tell the story of a violently ambitious gangster like Oz and how she surrounded him with strong, complicated female characters like Sofia, something she was looking for but couldn’t find in comic books she read as a kid. Thus, I began to think of this series less as a traditional “rise to power” story, and more as the origin of a monster, and an opportunity – over the course of eight episodes – to explore Oz Cobb’s psychology, showcasing his perverse logic and history, without glorifying it.
