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?
Please don’t cancel, and hurry up with the new season! My family and I watch it reliously, we enjoy it very much. From our 3yr old to us the parents in our 30’s.

I love this show, hope like heck they renew! If it’s having a hard time with ratings on Thur going up against other shows, they should move it to another night…Mon-Tue-Wed?
We love this series and look forward to watching it every week. It’s been a pleasure watching Bruce grow up and to keep it short we would be extremely upset if it were cancelled.

it was an awesome show and it needs to be renewed I love it but I hate the cliffhanger I need there to be more seasons
Is Gotham returning in 2018? My husband is a fan and he is driving me crazy til he knows.
Season four will resume in 2018 but FOX hasn’t announced a return date yet.
Gotham needs a season 5 because season 4 leaves a lot things need have to lead up to the season 5!!
There should back a season 5 of Gotham because they need to add Two Face to the Gotham show!!

So they must renew the show for more seasons !
