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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Gotham TV series has been renewed for season five? Should that be the final year?
defo gotta be a season 5⃣ with the joker coming back at the end of season 4
best show on TV
Please renewed many more seasons as possible great show
Getting a little tired of the Penguin Riddler thing. More Bruce Wayne.
thats why the joker is back
Please do not cancell this show I love this show.
Dont you dare cancel this show!!!! I love this show!!!
love this show, “Batman Where are you” …”Don’t wait too long” we must not give them an excuse to cancel this show.
You can NOT cancel this show!! There is nothing else like it.
I think it’s getting good needs be done like the walking dead now it needs. Hold on its villains also introduce a vulnerable batman when does he decide to be a bat we not seen no bat type or falling in a well or I missed that anyway peeps I hope it continues on for long time cause me love it long time better than marvels shite offerings this year Inhumans errmmm okay the gifted ain’t bad 2b fair I’m signing off folks take it easy my brother and sisters
We watch for Batman, but he is taking hell lot of time. They should quickly give him the cape
Bruce is one step away from Batman and now the show is on C-list villains. All I want to see is Harley Quinn. The story needs to end naturally either this season or next season.
How can it have Harley Quinn when it doesn’t even have the Joker yet? I know they play fast and loose with the timelines and characters, but that would be ridiculous.
the joker is back did you not see the end of season 4
It does have the joker that’s who Jerome is not sure what you watched. There needs to be a Harley
Guys… Jerome isnt the joker. Jeremiah is. I know you posted this before we knew that tho, so I’ll let it slide. XD
The show is taking C-list villains and elevating them beyond A-list villains. The Professor Pyg arc was one of the most exciting things I’ve seen on television for a long time.
I want to see Harley but I don’t want the show to end
I love Gotham so much it has such a complex, but compelling plot and it should get more seasons.
Love the show.. I hope it stays around. There is so much growth possibility for the characters.
It’s a bit premature to be talking about season 5 when season 4 JUST started. Don’t misunderstand me I would love it if it went 10 seasons I love Gotham but this is a ridiculously EARLY article don’t you think?
They are doing it for all the shows.
Well, yeah….I know but I still think it’s a bit premature for them to do this when the shows were JUST starting their new seasons.
Well they need time to get their scripts ready, renew actors’ contracts, and actually film for the next season.
Depends where and how your watching I’ve finished season 4
My wife and I both love Gotham. It is great watching how the young Bruce Wayne is going through the transformation from young man to growing up to be a BATMAN!!!!
