The trailer above is forThe Penguinepisode 8 specifically, so don’t watch if you don’t want too many glimpses of what’s to come in the finale – I’ll be keeping this article strictly spoiler-free, just in case you’re not up-to-date with the show as it stands.

Having only just watched the penultimate episode, however, I’m still flummoxed that HBO hasn’t yet recommissioned the show. There’s no second season confirmed as yet, therefore, which often happens mid-cycle rather than after a season has fully wrapped. Perhaps HBO is waiting for international viewing figures before budgeting for it. Perhaps Colin Farrell (who plays the titular character) is bored of putting on the prosthetic.

I doubt Farrell would step away from the show, however, as he’s not only front and centre in his world-beating performance – I think we can all hear the gongs and trophies calling, right? – he’s also an Executive Producer on the show. So there’s some financial attachment to it for the acting stalwart.

So I’m crossing my fingers and toes that, post 11 November, HBO will do the right thing, go down in history as one ofthe best streaming services, and recommissionThe Penguinfor season 2. I’m sure there’ll be plenty left to explore of the show’s rich tapestry of characters and I think a huge audience of fans will be ready and waiting to tune in.
