Christian Post Report – Matt Ryan as John Constantine
There have been a slew of reports earlier this month indicating that the hit NBC supernatural TV drama series “Constantine” has already been officially cancelled.
The recent news, however, shed light on the real situation of the TV series which was based off from the characters appearing in the comicbook, Hellblazer.
The one to bash all rumors was the show’s executive producer Daniel Cerone who said that the network is still eyeing for a second helping of the Matt Ryan-led show in a statement he released with ComicBook.com.
“I just received confirmation from the corporate offices at NBC. I was assured that Constantine has not been canceled and our pitch meeting to discuss a potential second season remains on the books,” he said in a statement. “By the way, this is a pitch meeting involving the president of Warner Bros and and the entertainment heads of NBC. Nobody at this incredibly busy time of the development season has time to waste taking pointless meetings.”
“Now, is it fair to say that Constantine is a long shot? Sure, that’s fair to say. While we marginally improved a tough time slot for NBC, we’re a very expensive show to produce. A lot of NBC’s decision making will not doubt hinge on their new pilots and how they feel those new shows would fare as a companion piece to Grimm, versus a second season of Constantine,” he added.
Apparently, there’s still a glimmer of hope which fans can still hold on to. Even though the showrunner said that it’s likely “a long shot” at least there’s still a shot for a “Constantine” Season 2.
