Gotham
Regarding the whole “Gotham airing in the UK” fiasco. Channel 5 DO have the rights to season 3, but were unable to air it, for reasons we’re not allowed to get into… They were hoping to air it in Autumn 2017, but as yet, that hasn’t happened. Gotham Season 3 DVD & Blu-ray came out on the 28th August, which means Season 3 technically “premiered” on disc. Season 3 then arrived on Netflix a few days later.
So the big question is, “what is happening with future seasons of Gotham?” The good news is that E4 has now picked up Gotham Season 4, so Gotham finally has a new home in the UK – E4.

Season 4 is now available on Netflix even though E4 have still to air the final 3 episodes of the season: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/gotham/news/a864007/gotham-season-4-netflix-uk/
And Netflix has it a month before the DVD release
You say “Channel 5 DO have the rights to season 3, but were unable to air it, for reasons we’re not allowed to get into…”. I presume this means you have somehow managed to find out why it didn’t get aired. Do you think that season 3 will be coming on TV anytime soon, either on Channel 5 one of their channels or Channel 4 or one of their channels?
The only ways to catch up on Season 3 are to either buy the DVD or BluRay or watch it on Netflix. If you don’t normally use the later you can sign up and do a 30 day free trial for the first month.
Thanks Sarah. I wish I knew about this earlier as I would have done the Neflix free trial before I moved. My new home doesn’t have that fast internet, so looks i’ll be getting the blu-ray.
Had Gotham on my planner to watch as I was at work when it was on the tv, just put it on and wondered what was going on, didn’t recognize half the characters or any of the storyline, then noticed it was Season 4 what happened to season 3 haven’t got a clue what’s going on now.
Season 3 only aired in the UK on Netflix and is available on disc from Amazon
Season 3 was released straight to DVD and BluRay on August 28th last and started streaming on Netflix four days later so if you don’t normally use the latter you can sign up and do a free trial for the first month
At least we’re actually getting S4 before it comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray this time
Does anyone have any ideas whether series 3 will be available to download via Sky On Demand? Failing that, I’ll have to buy the previous 3 series on Blu Ray to catch up
E4 could have shown season 3 as well for those that don’t have Netflix
Just seen a teaser on E4 saying it was the new home of Gotham. Looked like it will be showing season 4. No start date other than ‘coming soon’. Looks promising though.
E4 announced Gotham coming soon tonight.
Just saw that!!
Just seen advert Gotham is moving to E4 ?
I’ve just seen an advert for Gotham on E4. No date yet just coming soon
So, I’m guessing that season 3 of Gotham will not be shown on Channel 5? And people wonder why we download?
That’s not my real name.
Chanel 5 perver showing things like big brother than butin gotham on
Any one know if Gotham season 4 is coming on channel 5 or Netflix?
No news yet about who will have the rights to Season 4 as Channel 5 and FOX UK were apparently involved in a rights dispute over who would air Season 3, which led to a straight to DVD and BluRay release followed by Netflix picking it up a few days later.
Anyone know when GOTHAM SEASON 4 is airing in the uk?
I asked on a Netflix UK and Ireland Facebook fan page last week if they would be showing it hours after the US airing like they do for other shows and the reply I got was that they have no news yet
Watch it on [removed]. It’s currently on mid-season break in America but the latest episodes are normally up day after airing in America.
Just glad I’ll be able to finally watch season 3, thank Gotham for Netflix.
gotham all next week is season 1
There are episodes of gotham airing at 3.10am all next week on c5. Unclear from the listings I saw which season it is. We’ll find out next week. may be repeats but you wouldnt put it past them to just dump season three in a graveyard slot
Channel 5 are repeating Season 1 according to the TV listings on the official site
That is five all over
It appears it will be on Netflix a few days after the DVD and BluRay release: https://twitter.com/NetflixUK/status/896841645689360389?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.digitalspy.com%2Fdiscussion%2F2217891%2Fdoes-anybody-know-when-gotham-will-return-to-channel-5
Now if Netflix can acquire the rights for season 4 onwards!
Like most others I have preordered the blu ray and so won’t bother watching it on Channel 5, not many eyes on the adverts then. What a bunch of idiots
what I’ve heard is, 5 & fox have been fighting for the UK rights as its a fox produced show and they want to air it on the Uk version
How will they fit it around crappy big brother
You have shows that air in the UK the day after the US and then you have Gotham.I don’t want to go watching apps or whatever I just want to watch it when it airs on TV yet Channel 5 can’t/ won’t air it!
Getting the DVD me
Your spot on there
Even though I watch my shows at US pace and have already seen Season 3 I think Channel 5 should just hand over the rights to Netflix at this stage since they air ‘Better Call Saul’ the day after the US airing and also have the rights to ‘Designated Survivor’.
5USA and FOX UK aired ‘Breaking Bad’ early on in its run before Netflix took over airing the episodes hours after the US airing. 5USA also aired the first four seasons of ‘Archer’ before the rights were sold to Netflix, which now has the most recent seasons the month after they finish in the US.
I wouldn’t say Netflix cuz not everyone can get it. I think they should give it to a different channel that’s more up to date with the programmes
They won t while crappy big brother is on
If season 3 is coming out on DVD in August then I’m gonna just wait to get the DVD instead of waiting for it to come on the TV. Season 3 hasn’t even started in the UK yet and they’re talking about season 4 already. Channel 5 really annoys me. I’ve been checking this page for months and it always says summer 2017 which doesn’t help. If Channel 5 can’t show Gotham on the TV when it’s less than 2 months before it comes on DVD then Channel 5 shouldn’t show it
How crap are channel 5 with this show! They must have bought the rights to show this at the cheapest option (air it when it’s finishing airing in America). It’s an insult to the show and the quality. if they’re not going to treat a show with respect and it more in line with the other countries including America, then don’t buy it and let a channel who will air it sooner and respect the product more and its fans.
Right there with you. I keep seeing spoilers everywhere. It sucks!
I’m with you there also they need to put it on soon because there’s nothing decent on the tele at the moment instead of that they put big brother on rather than Gotham season 3
Stuart barraclough of leeds
What they should have done is put on five usa like wentworth
I agree 5 is takin ages they shud get on with it
Season 3 coming out on DVD in August, just saw it on Amazon uk
Fox have got season 4. So season 3 will be the last on C5
Hey Chris, where did you read that Fox have acquired the rights? I’ve had a look online, but haven’t found anything. Great news though, at least Fox will show Gotham properly, unlike C5 who seem to increasingly frustrate with how they deal with their acquisitions of US shows.
I guess 5 are never going to show this.
Just watched season 3 on kodi on a app called m4u I’m in uk
Type ‘watch Gotham season 3 online’ in on google there’s loads of sites you can watch it on
Deliberately avoided watching first two episodes of Gotham while on holiday at my daughters in Texas at start of October. That’s nearly six months. Really disappointed. Looks like it’s going to be Kodi then.
Summer 2017 or later. That’s crazy. I understand Channel 5 delaying the broadcast of Season 3 so they can broadcast it with no breaks, but why almost a year later after the US premiere. They really know how to keep an audience don’t they, but hey I’m sure Big Brother will be on for most of the year, so no room for any other programming. At least there’s Netflix, that’s probably a better option to catch the next season of Gotham.
Oh and also I have tried channel 5 and fox and Gotham isn’t on it…xxxx?????
You need to get an amazon stick and put kodi on it, that’s what I have and I’ve just watched the last episode of season 3 and I’m in the uk too
Hey when is Gotham coming on in the UK I’m in England and it said that it will come on Monday 19th September 2016 and it hasn’t so help please… Cause I’m Ultimate fan of Gotham so please…xxxx???????
It’s back on the 19th Sept in the US. It’ll be Early 2017 in the UK.
Well its the 27th of January 2017 when is it coming out

I still waiting to hear when Gotham coming back to the channel now as its getting frustrating as the arrow and flash r back this week it wont b the same with Gotham City to complete my collection series of nite tv.xx
Season 2 already back on in the US, i hate that we have to wait so long for some things 🙁
Gotham
Gotham , just brilliant,and some new love interest for Jim Gordon at last.
Superb casting and acting,especially the actor who plays The Penguin,and the best character of course is Jim Gordon.
Looking forward to great new episodes.
I literally cannot wait. I’m sad every week. Monday isn’t Monday without Gotham. I’ve been so lost since it’s stopped. I hope it does actually come back, so many false dates have confused and annoyed me. Fingers crossed! Gotham is bæ????
You like it then? 🙂 but why describe it as bae, which means poo?
I carnt wait till new season of gotham bck.i hate it when it makes u wait so long i also watch the flash and the arrow.im the same about football.so i hope im not waiting too long.plz.thanks lots of lov.leanne topliss.xx
I am pretty sure all DC shows are taking trying to annoy their fans! Arrow has had a mid-season finally, the Flash has had a mid-season finally, Constantine has had a mid-season finally and Gotham has had a mid-season finally! Although the most annoying thing is that the only information we have for Gotham is that it will start sometime in the spring 2015… Gee, thanks that narrows it down!
(Sorry if this seems a bit rude but as you can see, DC and channel 5 have been that little bit annoying lately)
DC doesn’t schedule them and unfortunately mid season breaks are very very normal and common for US television programmes, both with or without superheroes
Please… *Finale
Wow, I didn’t even realise I did that. Thanks! I have to admit I was really mad when I wrote that message but that was only because all of my favourite shows were having a mid-season finale. I didn’t know that most US shows had them.
Looks like Channel 5 are taking the smeg with these TV shows, first it was Person of Interest (which do not get me started with! Great show but Channel 5 are the worst), then it was Helix and now looks like they are doing the same with Gotham!
Wonder how it faired in the ratings, either way it started 22nd September and we got it 13th October, which is 3 weeks apart and I can handle waiting 3 weeks. But Gotham has started again in on the 5th Jan and back to normal on the 19th, but for some reason instead of us getting part 2 in February we are told Spring (which isn’t helpful or narrow it down at all).
Its actually got to the point where I don’t trust Channel 5 to show anything all the way through and in decent time, which is why I have started to download season 3 Person of Interest and will be doing the same with Gotham if they don’t get this sorted!
The TV companies here complain about piracy too, I wonder why that happens!
episode 11 “Rogues’ Gallery”
was due for release in the usa on January 5, 2015
with episode 12 of a current 22 part series due out on January 19, 2015
uk viewings were 3 weeks behind the usa screen times
This is the best series iv seen for some time , love all the characters, gorden and penguin rule,big fan of batman and didn’t think it would be as good as it is, gutted its finished , can’t wait for next series
When will gotham come back its 22nd December 2014 I was looking forward to uk gotham c5
Its an amazing show what will I do with my mondays now
Hi there any idea why Gotham won’t be back until spring, that’s weeks away
Spring is months away. Nobody said it would take that long. It’s on a Christmas break, and will be back (as you note) in a few weeks probably, which is before Spring.
Bear in mind, there isn’t confirmation yet
Yes Andrew they did at the end of the episode they said it will be back in the spring, spring starts here in april
It does indeed (well, March), and I for one am greatly looking forward to it (Spring, that is- but more Gotham too because it’s a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be, largely due to Sean Pertwee). And that there, I suppose, is your answer
Hi
I’ve really enjoyed watching Gotham, and am a big fan of Batman, & just wondered when it will be showing after Christmas 2014?
Thank you for you help.

It’s back in America on the 5th of January, so probably later that month here
I have every single batman movie its my favourite superhero out all them 5th Jan 2015 returns to c5 but sky1 been talking about stealing it
Can’t wait till fish gets killed in the programme shes rank. Will Smith could done a million times better then here dana why he stuck with someone as ugly as her #rank
Pardon?
Firstly, with it returning on the 5th January in the US, it won’t be the same day here.
Secondly, it would be interesting to hear where you heard that fascinating insight into Sky1- we rarely hear of such things publicly.
Thirdly, isn’t the “#” specifically for one of the social media outlets rather than regular speech, or am I just getting it all wrong?
I hope to goodness that this get’s good ratings/viewing figures in the states. I’m witnessing countless drama series there that don’t get second seasons because of poor figures.
It’s getting good ratings for its premiere, which is all there is to go on.
On the other hand, something like Big Bang Theory seems to run forever, getting astonishing ratings, neither of which I understand.
Just read that Gothem has signed a deal with Netflix.

Gotham. Yes, that’s right, after it has been to Channel 5.
The us get it on fox so as i have fox on sky will it show on there ?
No. Channel 5 bought the UK rights
the US get Gotham on September 22nd so i would presume it will be in the UK shortly after
Not too happy with channel 5 getting this show. Be dropped after 6 episodes. As soon as they get bored it will go the way of the others.
But you’ll still watch those six episodes?
Channel 5 has picked this up in the UK though no date has been confirmed yet.

Thanks Sam. That’s Fox in the US though, who have picked up what was just a pilot to a series now. We are still waiting for UK broadcast news.
Some websites state that Gotham will be aired on Fox suggesting it will be in the UK
Suggesting? Interesting. Let’s have a look- what’s the link (s)?

It’s the US network Fox. I don’t see anything there that suggests a UK sale. It’ll probably come though
