Together, GOTHAM and THE ORVILLE drove FOX to post its highest-rated Thursday with all regular scripted originals in nearly two years, according to Nielsen.

In the next all-new episode of GOTHAM, "A Dark Knight: They Who Hide Behind Masks," airing Thursday, Oct. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, Gordon (Ben McKenzie) takes matters into his own hands when he travels to Miami in an attempt to persuade Carmine Falcone (guest star John Doman) for his help in the fight against Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor). There, he meets Carmine's daughter, Sofia (Crystal Reed), who unexpectedly follows Gordon back to Gotham. The battle for Penguin's prized weaponry continues during auction night at the Iceberg Lounge and Bruce's (David Mazouz) presence puts him on Penguin's radar.

In the next all-new episode of THE ORVILLE, "Pria," airing at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT, Ed (Seth MacFarlane) and the Orville crew save a stranded ship and its attractive captain (guest star Charlize Theron). When Ed becomes smitten with the Orville's new guest, Kelly (Adrianne Palicki) suspects all is not what it seems. Also, Gordon (Scott Grimes) attempts to teach Isaac (Mark Jackson) the art of pulling off a practical joke.

GOTHAM is based upon the characters from DC Comics and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon.
