Jada Pinkett-Smith Is Leaving Gotham — Here's Why

Gotham is hurtling toward its first season finale, and it's sounding like one character won't be coming back. In an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael, Jada Pinkett-Smith said that she will most likely not be in season two. When Kelly Ripa asked her if she would be in season two, she told the hosts (which you can watch in the clip below at about 5:45) that she only had a contract for the first season, saying, "I don't think so, no. I signed for a year and, you know, the year is up. But there are some great things coming ahead on Gotham, believe you me. There's a lot of good stuff coming." Gotham's renewal was announced last month, and though we're curious to see how Pinkett-Smith's character will go, we can't help but hope she's right about good stuff coming in season two.
