In recent years, live-action shows tied to the Batman mythos (Gotham, Pennyworth, Titans, and Batwoman) have all lasted at least three years. How will Gotham Knights fare on The CW, especially considering the network’s new owner plans to focus on inexpensive and acquired programming? Will this new show be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A DC superhero action series, the Gotham Knights TV show stars Oscar Morgan, Olivia Rose Keegan, Navia Robinson, Fallon Smythe, Tyler DiChiara, Anna Lore, Rahart Adams, and Misha Collins. In the story, Batman is dead, and a powder keg has ignited Gotham City without the Dark Knight to protect it. In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his adopted son, Turner Hayes (Morgan), is framed for the killing, along with the children of some of the Caped Crusader’s enemies. They include skilled thief Duela Doe (Keegan), aka The Joker’s Daughter; streetwise engineer Harper Row (Smythe); and her brother, clever transgender teen Cullen Row (DiChiara). With District Attorney Harvey Dent (Collins) and the GCPD hot on their trail, Turner relies on allies, including coder Stephanie Brown (Lore), and unlikely Batman sidekick Carrie Kelley (Robinson).
The ratings typically indicate a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are an excellent indicator of how a show performs, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Other economic factors can be involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Gotham Knights TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*6/13/23 update: The CW has cancelled Gotham Knights after one season.
Cancelled. Within half a season, as predicted by almost everyone.
The Arrowverse is finally put out of its misery. No more Greg Berlanti, shot in Vancouver on $50 a day soap opera productions, with abysmal writing, dreadful directing & hilarious “acting”.
All CW shows end up the same way with only between 300 to 400 thousand people watching them. This is what happens when a show is all identity politics and is completely lacking in story, characters, character development, or entertainment. Watching the terrible ratings on here is entertaining though. I can’t stop laughing.
I guess when they make a SPN sequel without Dean, Cas and Sam, I will also grumble about how there is nothing sacred for people these days, how it was possible to insult the legacy of SPN in such a way, how it is possible to film SPN without the Winchesters, etc. But the truth is that everything evolves and changes. And what does not change, begins to rot. One of the most amazing moments for me is that I liked the show. I started watching this solely for the sake of Misha Collins, and suddenly I realized that I… Read more »
At 74 I have a long history with DC/DC Universe. I was really disappointed when they figured they just had to have a female Robin. I have no issue with creating a NEW character regardless of gender or race, but Robin of old, sorry DC you lost me there. So, why not give Gotham Knights a shot I decided. Of course they had to bring along Carrie as the new improved? Robin. The back story is a mirror and Navia does a good job with it but sorry Robin just doesn’t gel even today. Probably the worst depiction of an… Read more »
This has got worse ratings than Naomi did last ear, and that was cancelled after 13 episodes. Unless this show improves by about 200% in the next 8 weeks, it won’t be picked up for another 13 episodes.
viewership dropped by more than half. it even started off with less than one million viewers. i dont know how this can get renewed. they need better writing and way less drama.
Genius move casting Misha Collins as I believe it’s his fans propping this up. Cast Jensen, Jared or Misha and a chunk of their fans will follow. Unfortunately this show is not great, dialogue is clunky and doesn’t flow well. This story is underwhelming and we’ve seen it before and done better. Actors deserve better and fans of those characters deserve better.
Just when you thought the CW couldn’t produce anything worse than Batwoman & Naomi, the “writers” of Batwoman present a show so bad it makes their former series look like gold in comparison.
There is no way this offal will get beyond the commissioned 13 episode order.
Utter, utter garbage.
The actors seems so bland and plastic. I’m curious to see how the ratings play out. CW needs to start doing original dramas and stop with the super heroes.
Children barely old enough to feed themselves can pick locks, crack safes and beat up grown men twice their size? Okay, fine.
But when race- and gender-swapped Robin showed up, that was my cue to move on. My god, when will the CW stop producing this money-losing dreck?
Gender-swapped? Robin. You’re going to sit there and blame gotham knights. For Stephanie brown. Robin introduced June 1992. I disagree. I don’t think gotham knights created female Robin 10 years and 9 mother ago. And decided now to use her.
