It looks like the demons have won this time around. NBC has cancelled their Constantine TV show after one short season of 13 episodes.
Constantine revolves around the travels and work of John Constantine (Matt Ryan), an occult detective. He tries to help the innocent though his soul is already damned to hell. Others in the cast are Harold Perrineau, Charles Halford, and Angelica Celaya.
The show debuted on Friday, October 24th, as a companion series to NBC’s Grimm. The first episode did well in the ratings but there was a big drop off in week two and the numbers didn’t get much better. The season ended up averaging a disappointing 0.92 demo rating with 3.34 million viewers.
It was a bad sign when the network halted production in November after 13 episodes. NBC maintained that a second season was still an option but that seemed highly unlikely given the numbers.
Showrunner Daniel Cerone maintains that studio Warner Bros is working to find the series a new home.
What do you think? Did you like the Constantine TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
NBC sucks
Why have you cancelled season 2 in the stalker it is a brilliant series,
If the show finds a new home, even in syndication, I will watch it, I really liked the show.
I liked the show.Was disappointed when I saw they cancelled the show.
Sad, really sad! They never gave this show a chance and it showed a lot of promise!
Really good series. Hope in the future that if NBC will not renew it, then somebody else could pick it up, like Longmire on Netflex now.. Constantine was well put together and I love the special effects on that show. Matt and his partner both did a good job.
Constantine was a great show it needs to be brought back and given a second chance. I loved watching it after Grimm every week. That was a perfect lineup. I would like to see it return to NBC on the same night, but if that’s not possible, I hope another network will pick up the show and make it even better.
