Fans of Fox's comic book inspired crime thriller may be shocked to hear that actress Jada Pinkett Smith will not be returning for season two.

Jada is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors on the show in her role of Fish Mooney, but she made the announcement official on Live With Michael and Kelly. When she was asked about her return for the second season she answered:

"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."

It appears that it isn't personal but just business, although it doesn't make it any less disappointing.

She later teased by stating it might not be the last we see of her.

"She could show up anywhere, you never know!"

Her character is currently in a really pivotal point in the series so it leaves a huge question mark in how the series plans on adding some closure to her story. It seems against the show's nature to just simply kill her off.

"Assuming Gotham doesn't end in Fish's death - though that wouldn't come as a surprise, particularly because it would establish the Dollmaker as a big bad for season two - it would be easy to leave her somewhere plotting her revenge on everyone in Gotham in future episodes, thereby mirroring Cobblepot's arc from this season," writes Hollywood Reporter.
