How to watch The Penguin
The Penguin is included with four different subscriptions — HBO (Via Hulu), HBO Max, MAX (Via Amazon Prime) and Spectrum On Demand — so if you already pay for any of them there is nothing extra to buy.
To own it instead, you can buy an episode from $3.99 on Amazon, AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
HBO Max, MAX (Via Amazon Prime) and Fandango at Home stream it in 4K; the others top out at HD.
The Penguin ended in 2024 after one season and 8 episodes, so what is listed above is the complete run — nothing new is coming.
Created by Lauren LeFranc and starring Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz and Deirdre O'Connell; it originally aired on HBO.
