Is ‘The Penguin' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 12, 2025, 20:11 IST Last updated July 12, 2025, 20:12 IST Fans of HBO's The Penguin have been eagerly awaiting news about a potential second season since the gripping finale of its debut run in November 2024. The crime drama, a spin-off from The Batman (2022), captivated audiences with Colin Farrell's stellar performance as Oswald 'Oz' Cobb and Cristin Milioti's chilling portrayal of Sofia Falcone. But will we see more of Gotham's criminal underworld? Here's everything we know about the possibility of The Penguin Season 2. Was The Penguin Meant to Be a Limited Series? The Penguin was sold as a 'limited series,' meaning it was meant to wrap up nice and tidy after eight episodes. It's basically a bridge to The Batman Part II (coming October 2027, mark your calendar). That finale, with Oz running the show and the Bat-Signal lighting up, felt like a perfect ending, right? Like a killer crime novel you don't mess with. But hold on—shows like The White Lotus got called 'limited' too, then boom, more seasons. So, maybe there's hope? Will There Be a Season 2? Right now, July 2025, The Penguin Season 2 is still just a maybe. HBO's playing it cool, and the team's taking their sweet time. With The Batman Part II dropping in 2027, we might not see more Penguin on TV until 2028—if it even happens. For now, Oz is set to feature in the movie. The Batman Universe The Penguin is part of Matt Reeves' 'Batman Epic Crime Saga,' a standalone universe. Reeves has teased other shows, like maybe a Catwoman series or something about Harvey Dent being a lawyer. So, even if The Penguin doesn't get a Season 2, Gotham's story might keep going elsewhere.

Ever Wondered How Many Hands Touch Your Food at a Restaurant Before It Gets to You?
A single restaurant plate is touched by multiple people, each playing a vital role in delivering your meal. The statement 'I need hands" signals a fast-paced, coordinated effort behind the scenes. Every step — from dishwashing to plating to serving — showcases the teamwork that powers a restaurant's someone working in a restaurant hears the words 'I need hands,' it's a call to action, akin to the Bat-Signal being flashed into the sky summoning superhero help. Someone needs assistance and they need it now. Very often, that phrase is used because there's food in the kitchen that needs to go to a table immediately, so someone will drop what they're doing to rush that hot plate of food to the hungry customer. But have you ever thought about just how many hands are needed to get that plate to the table? Related: 5 Ways Your Favorite Bartender Is Like a Superhero A plate begins its day in a restaurant resting in a stack of other plates, freshly washed from the night before. The first hand that touches it is that of the dishwasher whose job is to take that plate out of the dish room and to the kitchen closer to its destiny of being a vessel for delicious food. The dishwasher bids farewell to their charge (or, charger), knowing that it will soon return from whence it came. Related: Nobody Loads a Dishwasher As Well As Someone Who Has Worked in a Restaurant The next hand that touches the plate belongs to the chef or cook who will now do with that plate the purpose was made for. It's pulled from its stack ready for action. Depending on the restaurant, food will be lovingly placed or hastily slapped onto its surface just as the customer ordered it. It might get a hamburger and a handful of fries or perhaps it will host a dry-aged filet mignon and dauphinoise potatoes with yet another set of hands belonging to the saucier gracing this plate with another loving touch. From there, the plate is placed "on the line" until more hands will touch it. Related: When You're a Chef Who Runs on Adrenaline, How Do You Calm Down? An expeditor is the next person that might come into contact with the plate. They're the person in the kitchen whose job is to look at every plate of food and determine that it's ready to be served. Maybe it needs a last minute garnish or a quick wipe to ensure the plate is clean without any messy drips or unwanted drizzles. They'll give that plate one final glance before saying, 'I need hands.' Related: Who Is Responsible for Cleaning Up a Kid's Mess in a Restaurant, Waiters or Parents? In steps the food runner. Never has a job description been so apt as this one. The food runner's sole duty is to carry the plates of food from the kitchen to the tables, swiftly moving back and forth from the back of the house to the front of the house. They live in both worlds. I once worked with a food runner named Michael who loved his job. He told me he got to stay in the kitchen most of the time, only breaching the swinging doors to the outside world of soft lighting and softer music to drop off food and then retreat to the kitchen with its fluorescent lights and the loud clanging of pots and pans. His interaction with customers was minimal and he liked it that way. 'If they tell me they need something, I just nod my head and then go tell their server.' If there's no food runner, then it's the server who runs that food and touches this plate one last time before the customer does.

The busser will clear the table, taking away each dish to be tossed into a bus tub, the plate's destiny fulfilled. The busser will carry it to the dish room where the dishwasher will take the plate and literally lather, rinse, and repeat. By now, this plate has had more hands on it than a hardbody truck in Texas that twenty-four people are trying to win. Hands Across America was less handsy than a plate in a busy restaurant. Running a restaurant takes a village. No one person is doing everything and the plate is the through line that connects one employee to the next. It's handed from person to another, seamlessly creating an experience for customers as if it was just one set of hands doing it all. If you ever hear someone in a kitchen say they need a hand, they probably mean they need help, but if you want to give them a round of applause, that's OK up for the biweekly F&W Pro Newsletter and you'll get stories like this delivered straight to your inbox, along with insights, pep talks, and wisdom from some of the best people in the hospitality business.
