Last season, the Gotham TV series dropped even further in the ratings, Yet it remained one of the top ten scripted TV shows on FOX, in the 2016-2017 television season. Since a fourth season will give them a decent sized syndication package, will Gotham be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A crime drama based on DC Comics characters, Gotham stars Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, David Mazouz, Sean Pertwee, Erin Richards, Camren Bicondova, Drew Powell, Morena Baccarin, Jessica Lucas, Chris Chalk, Michael Chiklis, John Doman, and Jada Pinkett Smith. The FOX series explores the early days of then-police detective James Gordon (McKenzie) and iconic Gotham City characters — before they became legends. In season four, Gotham’s infamous criminal scene emerges. It is up to Gordon and Harvey Bullock (Logue) to beat them back, but they are not alone. Bruce Wayne (Mazouz) also begins to take responsibility for his beleaguered city.
