Gotham Premiere Will Air On September 22

Fox has announced that Gotham, the network’s Batman prequel series, will premiere on September 22.

As described in the announcement, Gotham “follows one cop, destined for greatness, as he navigates a dangerously corrupt city teetering between good and evil, and chronicles the rise of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes. The entirely new, untold chapter comes from executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”) and stars Ben McKenzie (“Southland,” “The O.C.”), Donal Logue (“Vikings,” “Sons of Anarchy”) and Jada Pinkett Smith (“Hawthorne,” “Collateral”).”

Gotham will air at 8 p.m. ET and be immediately followed by the Season 2 premiere of Sleepy Hollow at 9 p.m.

The first episode of Gotham will make its world premiere at San Diego Comic-Con on July 23, before airing on Fox.
