"The Penguin" is one of the most nominated television shows of the year, receiving an astounding 24 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Lead Actor, Actress, and Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti, and Deirdre O'Connell, respectively. O'Connell was kind enough to spend some time before the nominations were announced talking with us about her character, Francis Cobb, the mother of Farrell's titular character, her work, and her experience making the critically acclaimed limited series. Please be sure to listen to the interview below and check out the show itself, which is now available to stream in full on HBO Max and is up for your consideration at the 77th annual Emmy Awards in all eligible categories.
