It’s not often that Australian TV fans have cause to rejoice, but Foxtel has announced that it will return its express from the US policy for all the DC comic shows from October, now with the addition of GOTHAM.
SUPERGIRL, THE FLASH, GOTHAM, DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW and ARROW will air five nights a week, completely ad-free, when the new season ofGotham commences Monday 9 October 9 at 8.30pm on Fox 8.
In a strange move, the third season of GOTHAM has been announced, putting this a year behind the US. However, the show has been treated poorly locally since its inception, and this gives fans a chance to finally catch the show without signing up for a US iTunes account (or worse).
From the press release:
THE FLASH season four will kick off Wednesday, October 11 at 8.30pm, with Team Flash doing their best to keep moving forward without the Scarlet Speedster and defeat all the threats that come their way. However, when a new villain too powerful for them arrives in Central City, the team realizes that there is only one person that can help – The Flash (played by Grant Gustin). Now, the team must devise a plan to free their friend from the Speed Force before the city is destroyed – knowing that The Flash that comes out of the Speed Force may not be the same hero as the one who went in it.
Thursday, October 12, brings the return of DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW at 8.30pm. In the new third season, the Legends face an existential threat, created by revisiting a moment in time at the end of last season. Having fractured the timeline, the team must find a way to return all the time anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart.
Fan favourite series, ARROW, will conclude the weekly run of DC superstars starting with season six on October 13, at 8.30pm. Oliver Queen, aka the Green Arrow, played by Stephen Amell, confronts a challenge unlike any he’s ever faced: fatherhood. With support from his team, Oliver is determined to embrace his new role as father to William while still serving and protecting his city as both the Mayor and the Green Arrow. But when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City and threaten his role as protector on three fronts, Oliver is forced to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
