‘Gotham’ season 4 premiere moved up to September 21, details emerge at SDCC
Season 4 of Fox’s DC drama Gotham will premiere on September 21 in the series’ new Thursday 8 PM time period, followed by the time period premiere of Seth MacFarlane’s new space dramedy series, The Orville.
With The Orville launching with a special two-night premiere on back-to-back Sundays, September 10 and 17, immediately following NFL doubleheaders, that would’ve created an 11-day gap between the second Sunday airing and the time slot debut of the sci-fi series. The time gap now has been cut to four days.
TVInsider revealed some collectible San Diego Comic-Con 2017 artwork for Gotham Season 4, admittedly reusing an older Gordon portrait and the Season 3 finale shot of Bruce beginning his rooftop crime-fighting. Also visible is the new Season 4 subtitle “Dawn of Night.”
Season 4 of Gotham will continue to establish the criminal landscape for which Gotham City is best known, with Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) at the forefront of the fight against the most depraved and unhinged villains. While Gotham City fights for normalcy, a new hero will rise, as Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) begins to assume responsibility for the city’s well-being.
Check out the teaser at the bottom.
CBR summarized the SDCC panel, in particularly: “…the first half of the new season will be inspired by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s The Long Halloween, and the second half will be inspired by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Batman: Year One. They will not be adaptations of the classic comic book stories, but the episodes will be loosely inspired by them.”
