10 TV Shows Just Saved From Cancellation

2. Gotham

Gotham Season 4 Bruce Wayne Batman
Fox

One of the weirdest superhero stories told on the small screen in recent years, Gotham has narrowly avoided cancellation but at a cost: Season 5 will not only be a shortened season (the exact episode count is TBC), but also its last.

The show, which has played very fast and loose with Bat-lore (delighting some fans and alienating others in the process), will at least finally get to complete young Bruce Wayne's transformation into the Dark Knight, which is what the fifth season is set to focus around, along with bringing a sense of closure for its heroes and many, many villains (none of whom will actually be called the Joker, it seems).
