‘Gotham’ Season 4 Spoilers: What Jerome’s Return Means For The Second Half

“Gotham” Season 4 brought back one of the fan-favorite villains, Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan). But what does his return mean for the Fox series?

David Mazouz, who plays Bruce Wayne, told Cinema Blend that Jerome’s return only spells out trouble for Gotham City - more particularly for his character and Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie).

“The second half of the season will mark one of the worst episodes in ‘Gotham’ yet. And, the worse the episode is for ‘Gotham,’ the better it is for viewers, right? Jerome will team up with some less than likable villains and they will take over the city and it will be a terrible, terrible fiasco,” he said.

This new team of villains is definitely stir up trouble in Gotham City, so Jim has his work cut out for him. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to fix up this mess in time, but one thing’s for certain - executive producer Bryan Wynbrandt said they are going to end the season with a bang, and fans are going to be desperate to find out more.

“While we're leaving a lot on the table, there’s going to be plenty left for us to put on the table after this season,” Wynbrandt told Comic Book. “I mean, we’re driving to a really amazing place where, talk about a cliffhanger! It’s going to be insane.”

Wynbrandt said they aren’t really thinking about the show’s future, since they’re concentrated on making the current season the best one imaginable. So whether the cliffhanger gets resolved or not will be up to the studio.

“Right now, our focus is on the characters we have,” he explained. “I mean, we have, I think the biggest cast on television and every one of them deserves their own story. I mean everyone is so good. So right now we’re just trying to figure out the best way to service our cast before we introduce anyone else and for us the exciting thing for us is bringing in Jerome, pushing the story forward and we’re certainly going to leave this season in a place where people are going to want a Season 5.”

“Gotham” Season 4 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on Fox.
