About Gotham Season 6
Gotham is an American action, drama, and crime series themed on the Batman franchise, developed by Bruno Heller. This TV and web series premiered on September 22, 2014. Since then, five seasons have been aired under this series on the FOX channel. There has been a curiosity among the fans over Gotham Season 6 release.
Gotham covers the journey of iconic Batman characters before they become prominent personalities. It is a prequel to the Batman movie series.
Gotham features:
- Ben McKenzie
- Cory Michael Smith
- David Mazouz
- Sean Pertwee
- Erin Richards
- Donal Logue
- Robin Lord Taylor
- Camren Bicondova
- Chris Chalk
The main reason behind this series’s popularity is that it revolves around the transformation of Batman characters. The series was intended to focus on Gordan’s initial journey with the Gotham City Police Department. Later, the plot shifted from Jim Gordan to Bruce Wayne. It also showed Batman’s opponents that were striking for everyone, especially for the loyal Batman fans.
Here, we bring you all the news regarding Gotham Season 6:
Why is Season 6 Canceled?
All the five seasons of this series were a huge success among the audiences and received remarkable reviews. But, the chances for Gotham season 6 are very less. In May 2018, the FOX channel announced that season 5 would be the last. Gotham Season 5 consists of a total of 12 episodes. They were fewer than other seasons that consisted of 22 episodes.
Renewal Possibilities
Gotham Season 5 premiered on January 3, 2019, and the finale of the season aired on April 25, 2019. The show received praises and appreciation for its performances, story, production, and writing, but gradually, the ratings dropped after a blockbuster opening of the season. So, even from this angle, the chances for season 6 are low. The story concluded with a proper ending, and no sequence was left incomplete for the next season.
Gotham Season 5: Ending Plot
The final season of the Gotham series showed David Mazouz’s character Bruce Wayne turning into a Batman. It also showed Jim Gordan becoming a mustached lawmaker, just like it’s portrayed in the most celebrated DC comics. This series was designed to be the prequel to the movies, and in the last season, the characters finally evolved into the original characters. So, technically there is no storyline left for Gotham season 6.
Even though actor Donal Logue commented some time back that there are chances of revival for Gotham Season 6, as of now, Gotham Season 6 is not renewed, and Season 5 will be the last of the series.

After Gordan kills Galavan, his troops are revived by Dr. Hugo Strange, who transforms them into “Azrael” to plan revenge against Gordon.
