Jada Pinkett Smith Will Not Be Back for GOTHAM Season 2
I've really come to enjoy Jada Pinkett Smith's villainous role as Fish Mooney in Gotham, especially in these last couple of episodes. Her story is really getting interesting! Unfortunately is looks like that story won't continue in Season 2.
When the actress appeared on Live With Kelly and Michael, she was asked directly about her future with the Bruno Heller-created series, and this was her surprising response:
"I don't think so, no. I signed for a year and 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."
There's no word on what is going to happen to her character. Will she sail off into the sunset on this boat of insanity run by the Dollmaker? Or will the character meet her demise? I hope that her departure wasn't a shock to the series creators. I'd like to at least get some closure on the character before she just kind of disappears. I will assume that whatever happens to her was planned from the beginning, which is why they only signed her on for a year. She went on to tease that it might not be the last we see of her, though:
"She could show up anywhere, you never know!"
One thing we do know for sure is that the end of Season 1 will be the end of her story arc. What do you think is going to happen to Fish Mooney?
