Watch A New Trailer For ‘Gotham’s Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s a show that I gave up on long ago, but it’s hard to believe just how freaking popular Gotham is.

Following the addition of Michael Chiklis to the already expansive cast, Fox today debuted a new trailer for the upcoming season of Gotham. The video, called ‘Hungry’, showcases many of the angry, angry villains that we’re set to see again this time around, thankfully minus Jada Pinkett-Smith’s atrocious Fish Mooney.

The show is set to return on September 21st, so take a look at the new trailer below, and be sure to let us know if you’re still watching Gotham!

The good. The evil. The beginning.

Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world’s greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon’s story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?

GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”), GOTHAM follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering between good and evil, and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.

Michael Chiklis Joins Cast Of ‘Gotham’ For Season 2

by Shane O'Hare

Looks like Gotham PD has a new Chief running the show! Emmy award winner Michael Chiklis joins the cast of Gotham for season 2 as Captain Nathaniel Barnes.

TVLine broke the story this morning. From the Gotham show producers, it sounds as if the rough and tumble Vic Mackey from The Shield will be joining the show.

He lands on the GCPD like a tornado, ripping out the dead wood of Gotham’s police force. He is a law and order zealot; unafraid of making enemies – on either side of the law. For Gordon (Ben McKenzie), Barnes is a hero and a mentor, someone with whom he can share the burden of heroism. Captain Barnes proves himself to be a strong ally to Gordon… but one day he will make an equally powerful enemy.

Take note that this character appears to have been created purely for the show, as I (and most of the collective internet) cannot find ANY references to Nathaniel Barnes in any regards to Batman. This is going to be a huge positive for the writers of the show. An original character that they can weave into the narrative is going to bolster the already rich library of characters.

Season 2 of Gotham premieres September 21st.

Michael Chiklis Joins ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It was just a few days ago that the official subtitle for American Horror Story‘s fourth season was announced, and FX has already begun to announce new cast members.

During today’s PaleyFest panel it was revealed that The Shield and No Ordinary Family (which shouldn’t have been cancelled) star Michael Chiklis has joined the series, and will play the father of Evan Peters’ character, and ex husband of Kathy Bates’ (as Peters confirmed in the tweet below).

Details on the season are still scarce, but we do know that ”Set in Jupiter, Florida, in 1950, Freak Show finds Jessica Lange playing a German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the U.S.”

What do you think of the news? Are you excited for the new addition? Sound out below!
