The CW has cancelled "Gotham Knights" after one season.

It has been a respectable ratings performer and, under different circumstances, could’ve made it to a second season but, with the business model of The CW changing under its new ownership, only a handful of highly rated (by CW standards) existing scripted series made the cut.

"Gotham Knights" Fails to Find New Home after The CW Cancellation

June 14, 2023

Sorry to be the bearer of bat news, but despite considerable behind-the-scenes efforts, The CW’s "Gotham Knights" is officially dead in the water.

“Since many of you have been asking about the possibility of Gotham Knights finding a new home, we wanted to let you know that, over the last few months, our producing partners at Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Discovery had been working extremely hard to get the show picked up or possibly even moved to a new network,” showrunners James Stoteraux and Chad Fiveash wrote Wednesday on social media.

“There is a great deal of love and support for GK at the studio, and at The CW as well. Unfortunately, despite all their efforts, The CW wasn’t able to renew the show, and the studio wasn’t able to find a new home for it.”

Gotham Knights Was Doomed From the Start - For One Big Reason

The CW's Gotham Knights was always doomed to fail. Apart from not centering on the more iconic Bat-Family, it was missing its most important figure.

Gotham Knights is a Batman show without Batman.
Without Commissioner Jim Gordon.
Without the Joker.
Without .... good.

It is the worst the CW has to offer and offer it up they have.

Batman's son, not Robin is accompanied by the Joker's daughter, actual Robin Carrie Kelley, Spoiler, and the Bluebird family to investigate the death of Bruce Wayne.
