The Mad Hatter will come to the city to bring his own brand of madness in the upcoming season of "Gotham." Desperately searching for his missing sister, Alice, will he want Jim Gordon's (Ben McKenzie) help in his quest?

New updates have been released about the character made famous in "Alice in Wonderland." As per Entertainment Weekly, the Mad Hatter, whose real name is Jervis Tech, will be played by Benedict Samuel (The Walking Dead). He is set to appear in the third episode of the new installment as a hypnotist "teetering on the edge of madness." Still extremely talented in his craft, the Mad Hatter has long stopped thinking of new tricks since his little sister, Alice, was kidnapped.

The young woman is said to have gone missing in the city and her brother has exhausted every means to find her. The Mad Hatter, however, does not know when to give up. In his furious search for her, he does not care that he is breaking the law. It is expected that he will give the Gotham City PD a hard time. The hypnotist is not the only villain to cause mayhem in the city. It will be interesting to see how he will encounter the main protagonists, especially Jim. The detective has already quit the force and is working as a bounty hunter.

Meanwhile, executive producer John Stevens recently told Comicbook that Samuel's character would bear very little semblance to the "Alice in Wonderland" version. Aside from his affinity of decorating his lair with all sorts of knick-knacks, Tech is not the regular Mad Hatter. The EP said he is a mixture of the different Techs introduced in the past, both from the books and the television screen.

"I feel like the character's an amalgam as much anything. There's a little bit of the reality from the Brubaker books but also from the New 52 and the Snyder books. There's some of that, too. From the Batman Mad series in terms of the emotional drive that he has. Benedict [Samuel] is definitely taller than most versions of Jervis but he plays it with a level of naturalistic insanity that I think, he really fills out that pantheon really, really well. But, no, there's no influence from the games," Stevens said.

"Gotham" will return on Monday, Sept. 19, at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.
