Speaking with IGN after FOX's executive session at the 2016 winter Television Critics Association press tour, FOX Chairman and CEO Gary Newman said the network would "certainly be open to considering" potential Gotham spinoffs, though those creative decisions would need to go through DC."We're really happy with the creative on Gotham this year," he said. "We thought the Rise of the Villains has been great, and it feels like a world that has many, many stories to tell. We haven't had any conversations with Warners about whether or not they'd want to do a spinoff series. I think that would be an issue for DC. It isn't quite clear to me that they'd be ready to do that, but it's a good idea."FOX is already upping its comic book offerings to extend beyond the Warner Bros. TV-produced Gotham. Lucifer , a loose adaptation of the character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman and its spinoff comic Lucifer, premieres on January 25th. FOX is also in development on Hellfire , a 1960s-set series centered around the Hellfire Club.Gotham: Season 2 returns to FOX on February 29th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
