TVLine reports that veteran actor Michael Chiklis (The Shield, American Horror Story, Fantastic Four) is heading to ‘Gotham’ as a Season 2 regular. 

Chiklis will be donning a badge once again, this time to play GCPD’s new captain, Nathaniel Barnes.

Barnes Character description:

“Barnes lands on the Gotham City Police Department like a tornado, ripping out the dead wood of the city’s police force. He is a law-and-order zealot; unafraid of making enemies on either side of the law. For Gordon (Ben McKenzie) he is a hero and a mentor, someone with whom he can share the burden of heroism. Captain Barnes proves himself to be a strong ally to Gordon (Ben McKenzie), but one day he will make an equally powerful enemy.”

Official Synopsis:

“The stakes are higher than ever as GOTHAM explores the origin stories of some of the most ambitious and depraved Super Villains, including The Riddler, The Joker and Mr. Freeze, and Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) uncovers more secrets from his father’s past. 

Series stars: Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Sean Pertwee, Robin Lord Taylor, Erin Richards, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Zabryna Guevara, Cory Michael Smith, Victoria Cartagena, Andrew Stewart Jones, and John Doman.

‘Gotham’ Season 2 will premiere on Monday, Sept. 21 at 8:00 PM ET/PT.
