Apparently Netflix is really confident that 'Gotham' will be a good show. They have bought the streaming rights for the first season of the show before the show's premiere. Netflix is paying $1.75 million an episode for the right. It will most likely debut in September 2015 before a second season, assuming there is one.
"While we typically license our programming country by country, we have licensed this very special series to Netflix on a multi-territory basis," WBWTD president Jeffrey R. Schlesinger said in a statement today. "Netflix is a perfect home for Gotham following its initial broadcast in each respective country, giving Netflix subscribers the opportunity to catch-up prior to the new season, whether they’re already fans or discovering it for the first time." Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, adds: "Gotham is the most anticipated new series of the fall season and we are thrilled to offer it to our members around the world. The Batman origin story is sure to have massive global appeal so it is fitting that, along with Warner Television, we have created a new model for distributing a show that international and domestic audiences will love."
