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.
Getting annoyed now that it hasn’t been cancelled nor renewed yet. Saw something online that stated writers left the show and they couldn’t find writers that supported their vision. Really sucks cause I have a bad bad feeling about this.
Please don’t..season 3 has been the best yet!
Maybe the show shouldn’t take 3 month breaks after being off the air for a month prior to that…..just a thought…
NBC did this to Blindspot in season one and it never recovered. You are correct. I don’t know why networks do stupid things like this. NBC has been helter skelter with this seasons episodes of SVU too.
O my gosh PLEASE DONT I LOVE THIS SHOW !!!!! I look forward to watching, it allows me as a 34 year old to learn all about Batman period, knowledge we need. I see how it all got started, wish it was more shows or a channel I can get to watch things of this nature more often!
I think Gotham is a great show & they should continue to make more seasons. Those who love it will continue to support the show !
Please renew Gotham for season 4, dont cancel. I would compare this series to Smallville, if you will, but way different of course and way better. I liked how Smallville focused on Clark before he became superman and if Smallville can get 10 seasons than so should Gotham. I want at least 10 seasons, no offense Smallville fans, but Gotham is much, much better than Smallville!
they can t just cancel it. It s my favourite TV show since LOST. I don t know what will I do if they cancel it. PLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZ don t let FOX cancel it!!!!!!!!!
This show is an amazing back story to the Batman and all his villains! It’s very interesting and I never miss and episode! It should go on for many seasons in my opinion!
At least bring the series close to becoming BATMAN
There definitely should be a season 4! This show has so many good points to it that it leaves you hanging after each episode! We need to know what happens next!
there should be a season 4 of Gotham because they did not show any other villains like !
Rupert Thorn !
Roxy Rocket !
King Tut!

I’d love to see a forth season, I hope they don’t cancel
Please don’t end this show, this is one of the best shows on tv
Please dont cancel this show. I absolutely love it. Please please please !
