Last season, Gotham saw another big drop in the ratings but it remained one of FOX’s top scripted shows. If the numbers continue to drop, could the show be cancelled or, is it all but guaranteed to be renewed for a fourth season because of syndication? Stay tuned.
A dark crime drama, Gotham tells the early stories of police detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and iconic Gotham City characters — before they became legendary crimefighters, villains, and heroes. Season three begins with Gordon taking matters into his own hands and becoming a vigilante. The rest of the cast includes Donal Logue, Morena Baccarin, Sean Pertwee, Robin Lord Taylor, Erin Richards, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Cory Michael Smith, Jessica Lucas, Chris Chalk, Drew Powell, and Michael Chiklis.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly 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.
6/6 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The second season of Gotham averaged a 1.40 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.09 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 like the Gotham TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
5/10 update: FOX has renewed Gotham for a fourth season. Details here.
It better not be cancelled!!!! Nobody watches live tv anymore everyone watches it on Netflix!!!!! Best show I have ever seen!!! Stupid move Fox use your brains!!!
I’d love to see this show continue. It’s interesting seeing these characters form and see what makes them tick. I just hope they don’t change them too much more than they already have. Also, no Joker please…
Gotham is a great show. We watch it religiously. The ensemble cast is amazing and it provides wild story lines while remaining true to the Batman legacy. David will become the iconic version of the Dark Knight as long as the show continues. Amazing takes on the Joker, Riddler, Catwoma, and Penguin as well. Robin as the Penguin and Fish Mooney are two of the most memorable TV villains in recent history.
Definitely would watch season 4. No doubt.
I like the show! I like to see the younger Jim Gorden and some light on the creation of some villains. I am definitely watching season 4.
Love the show I wanted to come back and I definitely watch it every week when it was on
Cancel the show
No season 4 for me this show is boring no bat (all kinds of villain on the rise but no bat rediculous) + this freak penguin he’z gay wtf. Always trying to change the course of superheroes stories that people don’t care (tell it like it is god danm it) 🙁
These ratings are all WRONG. Gotham should be a automatic for atleast season 4 and 5 and go from there.
Check Gotham wiki page for ratings, you have to count DVR watchers aswell as primetime 8pm watchers. Since people dont always watch their favorite show at air time because they are busy. When you look at true ratings Gotham is pulling 5-8million viewers a episode thats lots of eyeballs and more then enough for multi season renewal.
I’m watching season 2 and dam I barely made it through season 1. I don’t understand how this show is on the air. The show us supposed to focus on Gordon put pulls everything from Batman stories. The writing is all over the place. Some of the lines are so cheesy. Barbara Gordon a nut job and the Joker working in a zoo. Seriously? This is horrible. In Batman Year 1 Batman stopped commissionER Loeb. Horrible. Cancel this show please.
I believe we don’t need to cancel Gotham but it gets more interesting a lot more I understand the work with Gotham that turns out a best one ever and not a disappointment from the fans well mr Bruno heller I love you sure I put you on a list of mine to be a next Director of a Benjamin Affleck new Movie as the batman you know all of dc characters like no others but even David Ayer and Wyatt weed as to me Daniel Joseph Sahm that who I understand an both ways to be between of things… Read more »
I think Gotham is amazing and should continue to run… It’s just starting to really take off and once Bruce is training and helping fight crime as a young Batman the ratings will skyrocket! Please do not cancel it!
Waiting for seasons 4 of Gotham to began
#wewantmoregotham
Waiting on season 4 of Gotham
Best show on tv!!! Keep it going Fox wtf. Never understood the rating system. Do you account for people watching on apps and Netflix? Recorded on DVR?
I think Gotham is a cool show. I think it should be renewed. The reason why their ratings might be low is because people have to choose between Super girl or Gotham. I normally watch Gotham on Mondays and save Super girl on my DVR or find it the next day On Demand. Can’t watch them both at the same time, but I like them both. Pretty sure that’s what everyone else is doing.
