Poison Ivy is growing up fast on Fox’s Gotham. In seasons one and two, the character of ‘Ivy Pepper’ was played by Clare Foley. Foley will be leaving the show and in season three it will be Maggie Geha who takes over the character of Poison Ivy. Geha will be a series regular beginning with the upcoming season, playing an older version of the character who will be at odds with the Gotham City heroes.


Here’s Fox’s description of season three’s Poison Ivy: Following an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, Ivy Pepper finds herself reborn, and one step closer to the DC villain she is destined to become: Poison Ivy. Now a 19-year-old woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms, she sets her sights on Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz).

Geha’s credits include Ted 2, The Rewrite, and In Stereo. She recently completed work on the mystery thriller The Harrow written and directed by Kevin Stocklin.

Fox has set a September 19, 2016 premiere date for Gotham season three. In addition to Geha and Mazouz, the cast includes Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Cory Michael Smith, Robin Lord Taylor, and Morena Baccarin.
