'Gotham' Season 2 Spoilers: New Villains; New Season Will Have More Focus
The upcoming season of "Gotham" is expected to surprise fans in many ways, especially since it was revealed that many villains will be making its way to the small screens.
After the first season of "Gotham," fans got a good look into the origin of many characters, including villains such as The Joker, played by Cameron Monaghan. With that, the second season of the series is expected to see more of the notorious character. The recently released trailer for "Gotham" season 2 showed The Joker taking center stage.
His presence on the series is expected to push the story along and present an interesting story line for the fans. One of the show's star Sean Pertwee, who portrays the character Alfred Pennyworth, explained that the season will present the character in a more interactive way.
He stated, according to Mirror UK, "It's less stand-alone episodically compared to the last season. There are bigger story arcs of four or five episodes so you'll get interaction with a lot of the characters now. It feels cinematic, it's got a confident gait now. You won't be disappointed — we're very, very, proud of it."
The first season of the series received mixed reviews, garnering several criticisms on how the stories were laid out. The executive producer of "Gotham," Bruno Heller, addressed the criticism, promising a better second season to fans. He explained that they told too many stories, which brought a lack of focus to the season. With that, he hopes to address the mistake and make sure that second season has more focus.
However, fans are still worried whether the series will be able to reconcile its issues. Since the upcoming season is themed "Rise of the Villains," it can be expected that the series will introduce more antagonists to the story. With the arrival of new characters, the focus of the season could be put in question.
Fans will have to wait until the series returns this Jan. 11 to find out just how the season will progress.
