Telly’s Take
Although the current season will give them a decent sized syndication package, I think it is more than likely that Gotham will be renewed, rather than cancelled. After all, despite its drop in the third season, the show remains a top ten performer for FOX. For now, I’ll keep a hungry eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments.

Marvel comics might own the big screen but this DC series hits all the right marks and is fantastic. Some amazing casting (Penguin, Selina, Gordon) and a fantastic atmosphere and feel. Hope it stays until season 8 or 9 at least. 😀
