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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The third season of Gotham averaged a 1.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.325 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Gotham TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season on FOX?
*5/13/18 update: FOX has renewed the Gotham TV show for a fifth and final season. Details here.
meanwhile braindead fodder like 2 and a half men and kardashians thrive on the stupidity of the average m’urican.renew it…i’m not asking.we know where your loved ones live. –
Renew Gotham!
I enjoy watching Gotham. The program should be renewed for the fifth season. When the show was moved from Monday night to Thursday night. Fox knew that the Gotham had a slim chance of renewal. So surprised Fox and renewal for one more year.
Renew Gotham for season 5 Please. I love Gotham so much
Renew Gotham for a season 5 please. Gotham right now is the most watched Dc tv show out there I mean more people watch it than The Flash And Arrow And supergirl And Legends they all ever age the high 1 million viewers and Gotham is the only one that averages 2.5 million viewers and is on top of those 4 shows
I’m sorry but, cancel it honestly. The writing has gotten more inconsistent and baffling than ever. Jerome is not the Joker, but his evil twin is! Lee is a criminal now. Every action made by Edward Nygma all season contradicts itself. Character development is boring, so let’s just recast Ivy and give her a completely new personality. Hard no thanks
Yes, sometimes the show can be overboard but at least it doesn’t turn out boring. There is something always confusing your mind, making you think and comprehend what just happened: in my opinion, I enjoy trying to figure out what is going to happen next. But as of in episode 4-18, the whole point of Jerome’s death was to prove he was the main development and inspiration of the Joker. He passed his legacy to his twin brother, Jeremiah. As Gotham hinted towards this to be true: “How many Jokers are in a deck of cards?”… Two, so Jeremiah and… Read more »
Agreed.
Please renew it I love this Show soo much!!
Renew Gotham for a 5th season please
Rating were affected because of the Monday to Thursday move. People cannot stand when a show moves days like that. Ratings decline is fox’s fault.
I believe that GOTHAM should go on.
We can cancel Arrow, Supergirl and also Flash (which became incredible borrrring).
Legends are great, btw. 😉
A lot is going on. Riddler, Lee, Penguin, Joker…..I like every single episode.
Every episode have some sort a development on characters and story.
There are so many characters…..like Tommy Elliot which is kid but who can became THE HUSH….
I would like to see more of a CAT-Girl, Selina….9 lives, cats….
Yes, let’s bash other superhero shows, other DC comics shows to make your point. As though they aren’t all on the same side. Rather than the boring crime procedural shows out there for people who lack imagination.
Also Legends is the worse of all the DC shows.
please renew it! were really active on our voicing of how we like the show, gotham has so many fanbases on twitter, instagram, tumblr, Facebook it can’t be cancelled.
Love Gotham, The only show I watch on Fox.
Gotham is the best superhero show on tv it should definately continue. It is up against tough competition in its slot. I would have to think it’s a high record and watch show.
I would love to see this show cancelled
The past 3 weeks ratings have been really bad, wouldn’t be surprised if Fox get rid.
