What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the FOX television network, Gotham stars Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, David Mazouz, Sean Pertwee, Erin Richards, Carmen Biocondova, Drew Powell, Morena Baccarin, Jessica Lucas, Chris Chalk, Michael Chiklis, John Doman, and Jada Pinkett Smith. The crime drama explores the early days of then-police detective James Gordon (McKenzie) and iconic Gotham City characters — before they became legends. In season four, Gotham’s infamous criminal scene ascends. Gordon and Harvey Bullock (Logue) must lead the resistance, but they are not alone. Bruce Wayne (Mazouz) also begins to take responsibility for his beleaguered city.
 

Season Four Ratings

The fourth season of Gotham averaged a 0.77 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.56 million viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 29% and down by 23%, respectively. Find out how Gotham stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.
 

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. Subscribe for free updates on any Gotham cancellation and renewal news.
