Gotham Season 3 premiers tomorrow, and it's going to have a new Gordon. James Gordon is not with GCPD, but he's a Bounty Hunter now. Captain Barnes is back at GCPD. Selina is still Selina. Lucius Fox is working with GCPD. Butch is back with Penguin. Nygma is still in Arkham. And there's a new Ivy. How do we know this all? Well, we were invited to the Gotham Season 3 premiere party in NYC, and had a chance to talk to most of several cast members.

We chatted with Ben Mckenie aka James Gordon. He's a cool guy & a very talented actor. His performance as the struggling hero & cop/detective of GCPD (who's kinda Batman-ish) to The Bounty Hunter (in season 3) is just amazing. He brings on a new flavor to Gordon, which very much reminds you of Batman himself. But this guy can play the hero, the lover, the anti-hero, the villain (trust me) and a lot more. You've seen some of that already, but Season 3 is going to bring a lot more of unseen Gordon. (Spoiler: There's going to be a new love interest for him and Lee as well). Ben is also very kind and down-to-earth. And a new father (many congratulations!). It was a pleasure meeting him. 

Also talked with Morena Baccarat aka Dr Leslie Thompkins & Maggie Geha aka the new Ivy Pepper. It's impressive how  Morena manages being a mom of 6 month old and a successful TV-Film actress. She loves doing TV, developing interesting characters, so we can assume we can continue to see her on TV (even after recently seeing her in very successful SPY & Deadpool). Leslie's journey is season 3 is going to be interesting, with a new love interest in Mario Falcone (son of Carmine Falcone). Maggie Geha joins the cast this season as the new grown up Ivy. How? Well, that's kinda explained in S3 first episode. Maggie is such a beautiful & sweet person (and quite tall too!). 

Let's talk about Chris Chalk. He's a very cool guy & very down-to-earth too. Adapting a role played by the GOD (Morgan Freeman) is not easy, but this young man does an amazing job, that even Mr Freeman will be impressed. This season, he's out of Wayne Enterprises and working with GCPD. You'll see him becoming the Batman's Fox, we know & love. It's going to be very exciting. And his journey as an actor is also very impressive and inspiring to all us aspiring actors.
Now about this beautiful & talented young lady Carmen Bicandova, what can I say... I want to attend the acting classes she's teaching (seriously!). Her character work and acting talents are very impressive, which shows in how she plays Cat. Season 3 is going to be even more exciting, bringing some of the villainous Cat we know. The relation between her and Bruce evolves to a teenage love/friendship level, and ensues some exciting moments.

The tough guys of Gotham, Drew Powell aka Butch & Michael Chiklis aka Captain Barnes  are actually very cool & chill! Drew makes the loveliest & sweetest henchman (don't get me wrong, he's deadly with his big guns!). In season 3, Butch is back with Penguin as his no# 2. But when Nygma comes back, an interesting triangle starts (Butch gets jealous!). We will see lot of fun in this season from Butch. Drew is such a talented actor, and makes this murderer character so lovable. Many kudos & congrats to him. Michael who's a very successful TV star, is amazingly down-to-earth & cool. He shared that Barnes will be back at being captain of #GCPD, but as the season goes, he will start getting darker due to his experiences in Gotham City. Michael is enjoying the character and not having to what the brunt of carrying the show on his shoulders. He's enjoying more free time. But we all would love to see more of him of course!

Sean Pertwee makes one of the most kick ass Alfred we have ever seen. Several amazing actors have played the role, but none have been as hardcore, as hard hitting, probably as funny and as dashing as this man. In Season 3, we shall see some more ass kicking of course, but also see him training Bruce (his batman training), doing some romancing, and other stuff. He's also very cool and came to me to say hello. Sean is amazing, and I think he'll make a great next Doctor Who. Donal Logue makes one of the funniest and best cops on TV right now, we all love him. He keeps his hair and beard on S3, and is back at being himself (which is fun). He's also very cool & fun to chill & hangout with.

e also talked with Erin Richards aka Barbara Kean and Corey Michael Smith aka Nygma. Erin plays Barabar with so much fire, it's amazing. This season, Barbara is becoming more independent, ferocious and still loves Gordon. Although Gordon's love life is already complicated this season. Whereas Nygma who's still in prison, would probably be out soon. And he may join forces with Penguin. And stuff may happen. Corey's performance as Nygma is amazing, and he brings lot of fun to this weird role.

Keep an eye on this space for audio of all the interviews, and we shall share more details as the show goes on. But do not forget to tune-in tomorrow night at 8 pm on FOX, for the Season 3 premiere of GOTHAM.
