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?
This show should come back with season 5 of Gotham the story still has long way to go before Bruce becomes an adult so it will be good to keep the show going!
Gotham should be back for season 5 because the Penguin still has to brake out in season 4 !
STAY! STAY! STAY! STAY! STAY!!!!!
Which is worse: Being a cop in Gotham or a cop in Arrow?
Gotham is the best show on fox you gotta renew for season 5, if you look at actual dvr combined w/ live viewers Gotham is pulling down 4.5-5mil viewers a episode and a demo rating of 2+.
My worry now is fox just picked up Thursday night Football so what now for Gotham? Fox needs to move it back to Monday in its 8pm timeslot and stop making Gothams fan base chase it around, or something.
I feel that Gotham needs to have more emphasis on the GCPD in subduing more criminals instead of having so much of these rising villains attacking the precinct headquarters so much. Also, put a little emphasis into Bruce Wayne’s character as becoming initially into Batman instead of him rebelling against his butler Alfred. For it was Alfred whose been watching over Bruce Wayne after his parents perished. The rise of the villains are great. I this show can stay on some more seasons. I further think that they needs to not show so much bloody violences on that show.
definitely a season 5, saw them filming today near Manhattan Bridge, really wanted to take photos with them!!!!!
I love Gotham. I want them to continue this series! It’s brilliant! It’s a perfect combination of drama, humor, pop culture, and fantastic acting!
We love the Gotham series. Really hoping for More..
Renew please!
I’m addicted to this show having withdrawals so far without season 5 I’ll go mad as a hatter. When’s there gonna be a Harley Quinn
I really love the Gotham TVs show. If the Simpson tv show can have 30 tv series why not Gotham. I don’t think Gotham should be cancelled.please renew for season five
