AceShowbiz - Poison Ivy will be part of "Gotham" season 3, but there's a twist. The character, who has been featured in the first two seasons of the FOX series, will not be the same face we've seen before because the show is recasting the role in the upcoming third season.
According to TVLine, the recasting is necessary because the little Ivy Pepper who appeared in season 1 and 2 will have transformed into big, bad Poison Ivy in the next installment. Thus, Clare Foley who played the plant-obsessed orphan in the first two seasons will not be returning.
An actress in her late teens will play the character, who now will be a series regular role in season 3. Casting is currently underway for the role of the would-be-eco-terrorist.
Besides the grown up Poison Ivy, the third season of "Gotham" will feature new faces, including DC Comics characters Vicki Vale, Jarvis Tetch a.k.a. the Mad Hatter and the Tweedle brothers. The second season finale also teased the arrival of Bruce Wayne's long-haired doppelganger.
"Gotham" airs Mondays at 8 P.M. in the fall.
