The Big Picture From executive producer Matt Reeves, the eight-episode DC Studios/HBO series The Penguin, which takes place after the events of The Batman and prior to the upcoming sequel, places Oz Cobb in the center of Gotham’s criminal underworld. With Sofia Falcone , mob boss Carmine Falcone’s daughter, free from Arkham Asylum and wondering what comes next for her in a boys’ club of organized crime that’s not welcoming her with open arms.

MILIOTI: I would say so much of it was on the page. I will be forever indebted to the brilliant mind and heart and soul of Lauren . This really was born from her. We also did find little things, here and there, especially with Colin , who’s so fabulous and so game and so funny. The bones of it were definitely there. I love those little moments of wicked humor. We found that, and then we expanded upon that.

MILIOTI: For sure, that was there. But I’ve gotta say, I had the time of my life. I was a huge Batman fan. I’ve seen every single Batman film. I made my dad take me to see Batman Forever six different times. I was Catwoman for Halloween. I was obsessed with Batman. It has been a lifelong dream, to not only play a character like this, but to play a character like this in that world. So, sure, there were days that were intense, but I had the time of my life. It was truly such a pinch-me job.

I read that you count Kill Bill, The Godfather, Let the Right One In, and Beetlejuice among your favorite movies, and I can see all of those in this series, in certain ways. I also read that you’re a regular concert-goer, and I feel like Sofia is a bit of a rock star. Which Music Artists Did Cristin Milioti Include on Her 'The Penguin' Playlist? Especially as she continues to progress, some of her later outfits and hairstyles reflect that.

MILIOTI: It’s so funny, that was a day with a lot of big practical effects, and I was trying to practice it for the week leading up. We had this incredible props team, and I was like, “Can you give me those fake menthol cigarettes?,” and I would just sit there and try to light all three. You can’t be standing there in that fabulous outfit . You have to just go straight across. So, I got there, but not without a little bit of practice.MILIOTI: Yeah, it says so much. I know. I love that too.
