Gotham Season 3 Episode 2: Burn The Witch Sneak Preview

After tonight’s exciting season premiere, FOX released a sneak preview for next Monday’s Poison Ivy-centric episode of Gotham, titled “Burn the Witch.”

In the first two seasons, Ivy Pepper/proto-Poison Ivy was played by the young actress Clare Foley (now 14-years-old), but this season, she is being replaced by 28-year-old actress Maggie Geha. Why? Because the showrunners want to spice things up by aging up the character. How is that possible? Well, anything is possible on Gotham, but in this case, Ivy will rapidly transformer into an adult after an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill.

Fish Mooney (guest star Jada Pinkett Smith) takes matters into her own hands to locate Hugo Strange (guest star BD Wong), forcing Gordon to reluctantly team up with journalist Valerie Vale (guest star Jamie Chung) to find her. Penguin rises in popularity after criticizing the work of the GCPD and Bruce’s investigation of the Court of Owls is compromised. Meanwhile, Ivy Pepper (Maggie Geha) is reintroduced into Gotham city.

The cast features Ben McKenzie as Detective James Gordon, Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne, Morena Baccarin as Leslie Thompkins, Sean Pertwee as Alfred, Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, Erin Richards as Barbara Kean, Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle/the future Catwoman, Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma/the future Riddler, Jessica Lucas as Tabitha Galavan, Chris Chalk as Lucius Fox, Drew Powell as Butch Gilzean, Maggie Geha as the future Poison Ivy, and Michael Chiklis as Detective Nathaniel Barnes.

The guest cast includes Jada Pinkett Smith as Fish Mooney, BD Wong as Hugo Strange, Jamie Chung as Valerie Vale, Nicholas Calhoun as Nick, and Leslie Hendrix as Kathryn.

“Mad City: Burn The Witch…” episode of Gotham will air Monday, September 26 at 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on FOX.
