Teen Wolf alum Crystal Reed jumps aboard Gotham season 4 cast
While at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, it was officially confirmed that Reed is going to be appearing in a major Gotham season 4 role as Sofia Falcone, a further reminder that the Falcone family is almost like an octopus that spends much of its time hiding various tentacles. (First Mario, now Sofia.) She’s been a part of the Falcone family as Don’s daughter for decades, but we’ve never seen her in the flesh. The show’s creative reasoning for that is a simple matter of her working on business operations in the south. She will be collaborating with Jim Gordon in a sense (something that Don Falcone never seems that interested in doing), with one of her larger goals serving as trying to find a way to take down the Penguin once and for all.
Reed is joining a show that already has one of the most robust casts out there, when you consider that you already have a list of main characters that includes Jim, Harvey Bullock, Bruce Wayne, Edward Nygma, Selina Kyle, Oswald Cobblepot, Tabitha Galavan, Barbara Kean, Solomon Grundy, Lucius Fox, Alfred Pennyworth, and Ivy Pepper. Add in here some other familiar faces who turn up often, in between Hugo Strange, Victor Fries, and some other villains, and it’s clear that Gotham has to spend a good percentage of its time doing a complicated balancing act and listing off credits. (We figure that Lee Thompkins also still has a role to play of her own, even though it’s not 100% clear what that role could be just yet.)
Crystal first left Teen Wolf years ago, and the death of Allison Argent became quickly known as one of the most noteworthy and devastating moments in that series’ history. That’s a title that could end up being dethroned over the final ten episodes of that show, which is going to resume airing on MTV in one week’s time. It’s unclear if there is going to be a big future for Allison/any doppelgangers of her (we’re already seen one) before the end of the series there.
Alas, for Gotham, you are going to have to wait until the fall, when the show navigates over to its new timeslot Thursday nights on Fox. The good news is that for the first time in two years, it won’t be competing against any other DC superhero show. The bad news? It now has to air against Supernatural, and eventually also The Big Bang Theory once the Thursday Night Football lineup on CBS drops the curtain.
