Production

Development

On May 13, 2018, Fox renewed Gotham for a fifth and final season.[24] While the season was initially given a 10-episode order,[25] this was later increased to 12,[26] thereby making the season finale the series' 100th episode.[27] John Stephens serves as the season's showrunner.[28]

Writing

The fifth season is shorter than the previous seasons, all of which had 22 episodes each. As a result of this, Stephens said, "We move really quickly [...] We tried to build out the character moments as well. Sometimes we've had so much plot that we had to squeeze out some of the character stuff and now that it's the last chance we have to be with these characters, we're letting them live in these moments."[28] The season is inspired by, and adapts elements from two comic book storylines: Batman: No Man's Land, in which the beleaguered Gotham City is cut off from the rest of the world;[29] and Batman: Zero Year, which focuses on Bruce Wayne / Batman's initial period as a costumed vigilante, and his efforts to stop Edward Nygma / Riddler from taking over Gotham.[30] The No Man's Land arc was planned three years in advance, and the producers intended for it to be an "inspiration", rather than a "religious" adaptation of the comic book storyline.[29]

Casting

Main cast members Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, David Mazouz, Morena Baccarin, Sean Pertwee, Robin Lord Taylor, Erin Richards, Camren Bicondova, Cory Michael Smith, Jessica Lucas and Chris Chalk return from previous seasons as James Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Bruce Wayne, Leslie Thompkins,[28] Alfred Pennyworth,[31] Oswald Cobblepot / Penguin,[28] Barbara Kean,[32] Selina Kyle,[33] Edward Nygma / Riddler,[28] Tabitha Galavan,[34] and Lucius Fox.[35] Despite Lucas initially being advertized as a regular for the season, her character was killed off in the season premiere.[34]

Benedict Samuel, who played Jervis Tetch / Mad Hatter as a regular in the third season and a guest in the fourth season, returned as a guest in the fifth season.[36] Andrew Sellon, who recurred as Arthur Penn in the fourth season, returned for the fifth season in a guest capacity. He said his character would have become the series' version of the Ventriloquist, but due to the shortened season and pacing reasons, the idea was initially scrapped.[37] After Fox extended the season's episode count from 10 to 12, the creative team were able to continue with their original plan of making Penn the Ventriloquist.[38]

Filming

The season began production in July 2018.[39] Erin Richards directed the season's twelfth episode, making her directorial debut.[40] Filming for the season ended in December.[41]
