HBO Boss Shuts Down Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman Series Talks, Focus Shifts to ‘The Penguin’ Story

As a die-hard fan of Gotham City’s dark alleys and its colorful inhabitants, I can’t help but feel a pang of anticipation mixed with a twinge of disappointment upon hearing about the latest developments regarding Sofia Falcone and Selina Kyle/Catwoman. On one hand, it’s thrilling to imagine the chaos that Cristin Milioti’s Sofia and Zoe Kravitz’s Selina could unleash together. Their potential team-up promises an electrifying blend of raw power and wit that would undoubtedly set the screen ablaze.


At the climax of the first season of “The Penguin”, Sofia Falcone receives a secretive note while confined in Arkham Asylum. The note originates from Selina Kyle, daughter of the deceased Carmine Falcone, disclosing that Selina is not just anyone but Sofia’s long-lost half-sister.

This paves the way for a potentially thrilling collaboration between characters Sofia and Selina. Actress Cristin Milioti, who portrayed Sofia, has expressed her enthusiasm about joining forces with Catwoman, expressing that they could cause quite a stir together by “causing some chaos.

I mean, it’s my wildest hope that I get to revisit her, because I’ve loved this role so immensely. It’s like, one of my favorite things I’ve ever gotten to do, and I’m just obsessed with her. And I think if [Sofia and Selina Kyle] were united, we would just really tear shit up. I don’t know how to say it… We would just like, burn it down. You know what I mean? In a fun way. I think we’d have a lot of fun.

Following the conclusion of “The Penguin”, fans have eagerly anticipated a standalone Catwoman venture. Matt Reeves hinted at upcoming spin-offs in development, sparking enthusiasm among fans regarding a potential focus on Selina Kyle. This anticipation heightens following the enigmatic letter in the finale.

It seems that fans must be patient, as there’s currently no plan in motion for a Selina Kyle/Catwoman series according to HBO Max CEO Casey Bloys. Instead, they are concentrating on deciding if there will be more tales involving the character Oz.

Additionally, Bloys mentioned that Reeves should wrap up “The Batman II” first, as he’s eagerly waiting for both Reeves and “Penguin” series creator Lauren LeFranc to discover a thrilling path for the narrative, before venturing into new ventures.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of animation, I’ve been pondering: Could there be another tale with The Penguin?[…]I need to give him time to get his movie project off the ground and rolling. However, Matt and The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc make an amazing team, so let’s hope they come up with something thrilling that catches their interest!
