Where to Watch The Penguin
The Penguin airs on HBO beginning Thursday, September 19 at 9PM ET, with new episodes released weekly.
The Penguin on HBO
You can watch The Penguin on HBO without cable on any of these cord-cutting services:
DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream is a streaming service that offers everything from live TV, local channels, on-demand films, sports packages, and even premium cable networks like HBO and Starz for an additional fee. Its plans, which start at $70/month, are on the pricier side of live TV, but that’s because it offers unlimited DVR and streams on top of at least 75 channels, depending on the plan you pick.
DirecTV Stream Ultimate
DirecTV Stream Ultimate is the second-biggest package offered by DirecTV Stream. With it, you get up to 160 channels (up 40 channels from the previous tier) across entertainment, sports, and news. That’s almost any channel you can think of—from TBS and USA; to ESPN and CBS Sports; to CNN and BBC News; and so much more. You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.
DC takes over 2024
DC has got quite the representation in 2024, from the adult animated sitcom Kite Man: Hell Yeah! in July; to this live action series The Penguin in September; to the absurdity that is Joker: Folie á Deux, a live action film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga premiering in October. With the first Joker film led by Phoenix doing extremely well on many fronts, the hype is certainly alive with this sequel, which caps off an exciting DC year.
