'The Penguin' has sold to Sky in the UK - the series stars Colin Farrell and is based on the character from Matt Reeves' Batman.

Max ‘s Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios drama series starring Colin Farrell as the titular character will air day-and-date with the pay-TV network in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy, in one of Sky’s biggest deals in recent months, which was struck at the LA Screenings.
