For a while, it's been up in the air on when Gotham would actually ever come back. Some rumors were saying it would drop around March of next year. Now, Fox has officially said that it will premiere on January 3rd, 2019. That's a huge relief for Gotham fans, as they originally thought they were going to have a much longer wait. But that's not all.
It was also reported that Gotham season five was going to have a 10 episode run, which would fall short of having 100 episodes in total. Looks like Fox is being generous, since they have added two more to the order, adding up to 12 episodes for season five.
Gotham left off season four on a cliffhanger. The city was in complete ruins, where all the villains and criminals were marking their territory all over the place. Jim Gordon, Bruce Wayne, and a couple others stayed behind to protect their city, and season five will display how that's been working out for them. Another thing to expect in season five is the arrival of Bane, who will be played by Shane West. Last but not least, Gotham will show a young Bruce Wayne making his final transformations into the one and only Batman. Other characters around him should also be reaching a recognizable form.
Overall, this will be a jam-packed season. No room for any filler. Just the last chapter to the rise of the Dark Knight.
