The series was executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Lauren LeFranc (who wrote and served as showrunner), Craig Zobel (who directed the first three episodes), and Bill Carraro. Based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, The Penguin is produced by Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Reeves and 6th & Idaho are under an overall deal, and DC Studios. Daniel Pipsi also served as an executive producer.
