E4 have nabbed the UK rights to Fox’s Batman prequel series Gotham.
E4’s multi-season deal starts with the fourth season of the series, which is set to premiere next month.
This agreement comes after months of uncertainty with regard to Gotham’s fate here in the UK. Channel 5 initially acquired UK rights to the series in 2014, with Netflix UK taking SVOD rights.
After airing the first two seasons, Gotham disappeared from Channel 5’s schedule and season three still has not aired on linear television on this side of the pond (Netflix UK has since made it available to stream).
Channel 5 retain UK rights to season three. It is not immediately clear why they have been, to quote a source, “unable rather than unwilling” to air the show’s third season. Netflix UK’s position is not impacted by this new agreement and the streaming service will make the fourth season of Gotham available to stream following its linear broadcast window.
