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.
