Fox announced its midseason premiere dates today and decided to throw in an added bonus for Gotham fans. Gotham‘s premiere date was set for Thursday, January 3, 2019, and also announced that the series will get an additional two episodes that brings its total to 12 as opposed to the original 10.
This is good news for fans and probably for the show creation team whose job it was to fit a normal 21 to 22 episode season and squeeze it into 10 and now 12 episodes. This challenge was not lost on Gotham star David Mazouz, who plays Bruce Wayne. Mazouz explained to ComicBook.com that the episodes are crazy action-packed and that was when the show was only slated for 10 episodes.
Crazy. Yeah. It does, it does ramp up, because you know we kind of fit the meat of 22 episodes into 10 and so you’ll see the episodes are crazy action-packed,” Mazouz told us. “Like you know its kind of sad because I always found these to be kind of sweet moments, but we kind of have slimmed down on the scenes, the kind of more quiet scenes between two characters talking about the events of the episode, Sean and I had a lot of those in the kitchen or in the study. Kind of haven’t had a lot of those because every second is just filled with action, plot moving the story along, getting the characters where they need to go, and I think it will be exhilarating as a viewer to watch. I can’t put any of the scripts down.
Apparently, Fox realized this as well so they have given Gotham an additional two episodes so they can pull together all the stories they have interwoven and end with a satisfactory conclusion for critics and fans alike.
Now that you know when Gotham will start, are you pumped that Fox has added the two extra episodes to bring Gotham to an epic ending? What do you hope to see with those additional episodes? Share your Gotham hopes with us at GVNation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
