    “Constantine”: What The Heck Is Going On, NBC?

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments

    If you have been one of the MANY viewers of the NBC series Constantine, chances are you are anxiously awaiting news of a season 2 pickup or the ultimate goodbye to Matt Ryan and company.

    There was a story run today by Buzzfeed (not well known to be the fact finders of the entertainment news world) that the show has INDEED been canceled, as well as commentary from the piece’s author who says she confirmed each of her reported cancellations with the networks.

    UPDATE:  Kate has just updated her piece and posted this tweet:

    YET ANOTHER UPDATE: This time from showrunner Daniel Cerone posted by 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. 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.

    We have sent our own inquiries to NBC and their representatives, and we will let you know what we find out.  Officially, NBC had stated previously they wouldn’t make a decision til the end of May.  The battle isn’t lost yet, I urge courage in the face of darkness.
