Gotham is a series related to Batman but without starring Batman as the main hero. It may seem really odd, but the show has a lot of viewers. Basically, the series is a prequel to Batman's story and it is now on its fifth season. Now, fans of the show are wondering if there will be Gotham season 6.
It was announced earlier that Gotham will supposedly end after the fifth season, as per Otakukart. While fans are excited about what will happen, they were also sad the series is nearing its ending. There were no confirmations regarding the ending of the series, but according to sources, one of the reasons is that the production value is too high. It reportedly costs about $88 million to produce a minimal portion of the show.
Although Gotham has a huge list of followers and fan base, some also believe the viewership rating could be another reason why there will be no Gotham season 6. The fourth season of the series reportedly had an average of 5.8 million viewers (dropped from an initial 8.3 million), which is fair enough for a normal show, but since the series has a massive production value it is considerably low.
Other fans also think there wouldn't be Gotham season 6 since it is a Batman prequel, it might be hard to continue the series as it may create problems with the story in the DC film series Batman. There is also no crossover or continuation potential for the series. But, these just are the many theories as to why Gotham ended but nobody knows what will happen until season 5 ends.
Fans would probably request for another season and some other networks would likely acquire Gotham since it has a huge fan base. For instance, Netflix has been open for such shows and it might satisfy millions of fans. Still, fans need to wait until the fifth season ends, and if writers could reportedly offer something interesting and there's a network to back them up, the Gotham season 6 will likely happen.
Meanwhile, if you haven't watched Gotham, the series follows the story of rising detective James Gordon. He aims to battle corruption and clean up Gotham city before Batman arrives. The young Bruce Wayne was also introduced in the series, where he witnessed the murder of Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha. Gordon becomes friend with the young Bruce. The series also introduces other characters such as Penguin, Arkham Asylum, and Harvey Dent.
