A look inside the final days of Gotham, which is set to air its last season.

The fourth season of Fox’s Gotham ended with the city being cut off from the rest of the world. Abandoned by the government, with bridges leading out of the city blown up, Gothamites have been left to fend for themselves in a lawless No Man’s Land. Longtime DC Comics readers will remember the No Man’s Land storyline which ran for 12 months in every Batman comic during 1999. Now Gotham will be putting their own spin on the storyline for the show’s fifth and final season.

The series is currently in its final months of production, over in Brooklyn, New York. Andrew Sellon plays the Penguin’s anxious accountant, Mr. Penn. We spoke with him about how No Man’s Land will be affecting the series.

“If you thought Gotham was a tough town before, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet”, Andrew warned. “No Man’s Land is literally a war zone, and absolutely no one is safe. There’s danger—and potentially death—around every corner. But somehow out of all the anarchy and violence, a couple of heroes are rising”, Andrew continued.

Can the Gotham City Police Department be the heroes the city needs? We also spoke with Amy Novondo, who plays one of Gotham City’s finest. “With Gotham now being No Man’s Land we’ve been able to do much cooler stuff since this season is very dark”, Amy said. Amy also revealed that the GCPD’s attire will reflect the current state of the city. “Even our uniforms are darker this season”, she said. Gotham season 5 will see the police struggle to operate in a city without laws. How do you arrest someone when there’s no government? These are the questions Amy and her GCPD partners will have to grapple with. “I think you guys are going to love how awesome this season is so far”, Amy said.

While the cast is excited about what they’re putting together, there is a solemn feeling knowing that the end is near. “The vibe on set continues to be amazing, if bittersweet. We’re all going to miss being together big-time, but we’re cherishing every wacky moment”, Andrew said. “I’ve been on a lot of sets; this one remains extraordinary for its commitment to the vision and its close-knit family vibe. What an amazing family we have”, he continued.

Like Andrew, Amy also used the word “family” when describing the cast and the mood on set. “The atmosphere on set is more like a family reunion especially since we lost one of our own GCPD officers from season 1 to a heart attack. We’re all a pretty tight-knit group and everyone works like a well-oiled machine because we all know how to our jobs well”, Amy said.

While there hasn’t been any official confirmation from Fox or Warner Brothers, multiple cast members have stated the final season of Gotham will be 10 episodes. As we speak, showrunner John Stephens is currently writing the series finale. Andrew Sellon was quick to remind us that a smaller season doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be getting less thrills. “Despite having our season shortened, everyone is there delivering 150 percent to give Gotham‘s fans the insanely high quality they’ve come to expect”, Andrew said. “Fans won’t be disappointed. Every show has to end sometime, and if anything, the cast and crew have bonded that much more in our determination to send Gotham out in the style it deserves”, he continued.

What’s your bucket list for Gotham? What do you want to see the show do before it takes its final bow? Gotham is expected to return for its final season in Jan. 2019.
